Course

Queer Theology

Please note that this course has been cancelled.

The “masculine” and “feminine” as determined by cultural, historical, and also theological conventions, have been emphasized in both society and research, during the past half century. These issues have also highlighted how the understanding of each sex has been linked to sexuality where heterosexuality has been the norm. In this course the aim is to discuss problems related to the context mentioned, and a deepening of these different aspects of a theological perspective. Also, to analyze boundaries between theology, gender studies and queer theory. The course is implemented towards constructively critical study of the mutually different theologies which has emerged under the name queer theology.
