S60 SWCD 5372A Sociopolitical Study of LGBTQ+ Experiences in the US & Brazil3.0 Units
Description:The purpose of this course is to allow students to examine structural stigma from the context of Brazil- with direct interaction with LGBTQ youth, adults, social service providers and policy advocates to help students understand the ways in which structural stigma influences individual behavioral health patterns which can be applied in the U.S. and in a global context. This course will travel to Brazil over spring break (March 8-15, 2025) and introduce students to understanding LGBTQ human rights and policy issues from an international perspective, with a strong focus on intersectional experiences of race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality. South America is undergoing a major cultural shift in the areas of gender related issues and sexual identity, moving from a conservative, male heterosexual dominated culture to a more open, liberal, and gender equal society. Several South American countries, such as Brazil, have been the unexpected global leaders in the advancement of the personal and political rights of their LGBTQ and ally citizens. Through exposure to other cultures and intensive discussion on LGBTQ international experiences displayed throughout this course, students will improve their awareness and understanding of the political, economic, social, and cultural contexts through an LGBTQ developmental experience lens, using Brazil as a point of study. Students must apply for the course at sa.wustl.edu by November 1, 2024. There is a $1800 course fee for Brown School students. This will cover airfare, housing, in country transportation, breakfast, insurance. Students are responsible for all costs not covered by the course fee, including travel to the airport, additional meals, personal expenses, and visa or immunizations. Travel: March 8-15, 2025. There will be a few pre-departure sessions in early spring.

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.
