This course explores how art, activism and critical theory challenges normative constructions of identity, embodiment, kinship, temporality, and futurity. Drawing on queer, trans, and disability frameworks, we investigate how radical kinship, mutual aid, and creative practice have been central to questioning, subverting, and reconstructing societal norms and navigating the complexities of marginalized, intersectional identity and embodiment.Using theoretical analysis, seminar discussion, and small creative-critical projects, students are encouraged to engage with complex theoretical concepts while also applying them to their own artistic practices. Emphasis is placed on developing ethical, self-reflective approaches to creative and critical practices of making.Philosophy and Critical Theory (PHCRT) courses focus on developing critical reading and thinking skills, with an emphasis on learning to frame and explore meaningful questions. Students consider multiple perspectives and claims in the process of formulating independent, well-founded opinions.
