HIST 2804: Histories of Gender & Sexuality: Microhistorical, Regional, Transnational, and Global Approaches
Prof. Lara Putnam
Wednesdays, 2:30-4:55pm, 3700 Posvar Hall
This course seeks to introduce students to foundational and evolving theories of gender and sexuality, and then explore the varied array of approaches that historians have taken to writing histories of and with gender and sexuality: that is, with gender and sexuality as central foci, or attending to their impact and imbrication with other critical dimension of social, political, economic, and cultural change. Throughout, we pay careful analytic attention to historians’ scales of research and analysis: we discuss microhistorical, national, transnational, and global histories of gender and sexuality, and how work at each of these scales may complement the others.
