L98 AMCS 317SCommunity Engaged Learning: Documenting the Queer Past in St. Louis4.0 Units
Description:What is the relationship between the queer present and the queer past? In 2016, the U.S. National Park Service created its LGBTQ Heritage Initiative, reminding Americans that history can be activism: "for many LGBTQ groups, preserving and interpreting their past has been an important part of building communities and mutual support." Attending to the queer past can also reveal the exclusions and divisions that shaped those communities and that continue to limit them. In this course, we will participate in this national project of history-making by excavating the queer past in the greater St. Louis region. Course texts will focus on the ways that sexual identities and communities in the United States have shifted and coalesced in the twentieth century. In addition, we will learn about the ways that history has been represented and interpreted. The course is centrally concerned with how race, class and gender have structured queer spaces, communities, and history. This is a community engaged learning course, and there is a required community service project for this course. In past semesters students have conducted oral histories or worked with staff at the Missouri History Museum on an upcoming exhibit. The community engaged learning component of the course will require an additional 3-5 hours per week. Prereq: Intro to Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies or Intro to Queer Studies, or permission of instructor. Waitlists controlled by Department; priority given to WGSS majors.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
