LGBTQ2S+ Literature Class Additions for Spring 2026

Given that we’re in a particular time in American history, I’m adding more resilience and resistance to my class, LGBTQ2S+ Literature in America, in spring 2026. This includes adding more indigenous voices and more Black voices—as well as more play and magic (all of which often overlap). Here’s a sneak peek of the additions students will get to experience in the spring:

The Role of Big Business in LGBTQ+ Politics, Pt. 2: The Master’s Tools and Jostling Anticapitalist Politics

In this second post, I’ll explore in more depth some of the ways reading that book made me question my own anticapitalist politics. Then I’ll extrapolate on some of the dangers of relying on corporations. Making connections to the work of Audre Lorde, I’ll assert that working with corporations, while valuable, will never let us achieve liberation.
