About this course:
This course is designed for students who want to examine LGBTQ fiction, nonfiction, film and television. Students use examples of LGBTQ works to see what craft and creative techniques that they want to include in their writing. Discussions also include key moments in LGBTQ history such as Stonewall, the AIDS crisis, and queer art movement, and are grounded in the queer concepts of family, time and love. Together, we explore the joy, difficulties and anxieties about writing and sharing our personal experiences with our LGBTQ identities, intimacies and histories. By the end of the course, students workshop one piece of fiction or nonfiction twice, have a collection of prompts for continued writing and move forward with a list of recommended LGBTQ works to read after class is over.
