This course builds on a foundation in Feminist Media Studies to engage the scholarly field of Trans-Feminist Queer (TFQ) Media Studies. While these three terms (trans, feminist and queer) can bring us to three separate areas of media studies, this course immerses students in scholarship on media and technology that is shaped by and committed to their shared critical, theoretical and political priorities. This scholarship centers transgender, feminist and queer knowledges and experiences to both understand and reimagine the ways that media and communication technologies contribute to racial, national, ethnic, gender, sexual and economic relations of power and possibility.
