This course examines gender and sexuality in the Middle East, North Africa and Iran with a primary focus on 1798-present. Students will explore the shifting terrain of gender, sexuality and sexual practice in relation to colonialism, resistance and revolution, nationalism, and postcoloniality. We will engage with travel literature, fiction, poetry, film, political cartoons, revolutionary poster art, music, and newspapers in order to critically and contextually analyze the ways in which gender and sexuality inform the production of cultural norms, practices and power in the Middle East.
Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
