Gender Studies at CUNY campuses

It seems like there are some really good course in gender studies departments at CUNY campuses. Part of why I say really good is cause they interdisciplinary which means that students can study gender in a true sense, i.e. enfolded with race, sexuality, nation, settler and other colonialisms, etc.

Also me and Kayla and Katia started this wordpress for our final project: https://queermoun.commons.gc.cuny.edu

Also I feel like again Prof Kynard’s syllabus is the model to look at for pedagogy for gender studies. The ways they write about everything down to why study gender to what good participation looks like to writing and not abandoning yourself:

Also I saw a great talk by Alexander Weheliye about R&B and I thought he is someone definitely to read and look at for queer studies for any kind  of curriculum because they write on a breadth of topics like music, philosophy, history, etc. Also he was talking about stuff he assigns his students and it sounded amazing.
