I'M COMING OUT - IExcel SC1051
This course explores the tensions surrounding issues of outness and visibility for LGBTQ+ people. Visibility is often considered critical for increasing awareness of and social acceptance for LGBTQ+ individuals, as it serves to disrupt and decenter cisnormative and heteronormative assumptions. However, this framework places the responsibility for being out and visible on individual LGBTQ+ while simultaneously ignoring the concrete risks associated with visibility. As such, this course explores how LGBTQ+ individuals navigate visibility, particularly in regard to issues of representation and presentation, and in relation to social spaces and institutions.
