WGSS 66.15 Feminist and Queer Africa on Stage & Screen

This course explores representations of feminist and queer Africa in theatre, dance, and film. How do female-identified, nonbinary, and/or queer African artists use creative expression to navigate and challenge neocolonial, heteropatriarchal regimes and advance ideas of LGBTQIA rights and gender equality? Although several countries will be considered during the term, Kenya and Uganda receive a particular emphasis. All students are welcome; no prior knowledge of Africa and/or theories of gender and sexuality are needed.
