Smith College’s ‘Queer Studies’ program seeks to ‘destabilize normative sexuality’ - The College Fix:
"...Program also looks to ‘destabilize systemic oppression,’ promote ‘resistance’
An area of study at an elite all-women’s college has the stated goal of “recognizing and disrupting notions of normative sexuality and gender.”
Smith College’s “Queer Studies” program, part of the school’s Study of Women and Gender department, also instructs students to “consider the historical and theoretical foundations of queer studies as well as the potential consequences…of a queer studies critique.”
“Queer studies,” the program’s website states, “forwards theories that deepen understandings of pleasure, loss, performativity, embodiment, visuality, representation, and resistance.”
Various courses offered under the area of study include “The Queer 90s,” “Oral History and Lesbian Subjects,” “Queering Don Quixote” and “Immigration and Sexuality.”
