Queer Community College

<p>Terms like queer, heteronormativity, homonationalism, and pinkwashing are widely used, but where do they come from and what do they actually mean? How can these critical concepts help us to make sense of ourselves and the world around us? How might a queer approach shed light on ways that gender and sexuality intersect with class, race, patriarchy, disability and colonialism? For LGBTQ+ history month, take a deep dive into key ideas from queer theory, identities, politics, activism. Classes will comprise discussion, reading, and creative practice. </p>

You don’t need any prior knowledge to participate, just a sense of curiosity and an open mind </p>
