Explores the social, cultural, and political history of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people in the United States, focusing on the 20th century. An important goal of the course is to understand the shift from sexual acts to sexual identities as the main cultural framework for organizing human sexuality. Since the policing of LGBT life is closely related to broader shifts in sexual and gender identities, we will also pay close attention to the history of heterosexuality and heteronormativity. Topics covered will include the emergence of homosexuality and heterosexuality as categories and experiences; the changing relationship between sexual and gender deviance; the role of science, religion, and social movements in shaping the history of sexuality; HIV/AIDS; and the emergence and transformation of anti-LGBT politics.
