This is an Enduring Question course and is open to FRESHMAN only. You must take GERM1701 with this course.
This course examines the historical production, policing, and change of boundaries between normative social life and that condemned as ""deviant."" To deviate from powerful norms is to risk being repetitively ""othered"" by social control agents of various sorts--parents, priests, judges, doctors, and politicians. Who wins and who loses in this battle? Animated by a concern for social justice, the course invites students to reckon with how gendered, racialized, economic, and erotic rituals of power influence the contested construction of dominant and deviant expressions of religion, law, medicine, kinship, governance, commerce, bodily pleasure, and popular culture.
