FG214 Hidden Spaces, Hidden Narratives: Intersectionality Studies in Berlin

Through myriad multidisciplinary critical perspectives—such as Black Feminism, Transnational Feminism, and Critical Race Theory—this course examines how the identities of Black, Jewish, Turkish, and LGBTQI communities, as well as (im)migrants, refugees, victims of Neo-Nazi terrorism and police brutality, and other marginalized people are constructed in Germany, particularly how these constructions are dependent on racism, heterosexism, colonialism, and other forms of oppression. Additionally, it examines how these people and communities resist and reproduce these narratives as they construct their subjectivities.
