Lesbian Culture and Relationships, 1970–Present    NEW!

This course brings to life lesbian community, culture, and relationships, from the 1970s lesbian feminist movement to the present. Particular emphasis will be on the impact of economic class and race on lesbians’ relationships and the preservation of their viewpoints from all sources. Topics will include the “first” achievements in the community to today. Some of these include women's and lesbians’ music festivals, dance and theater groups, music promotion companies, land communities, and Oregon writers’ groups and journals. We will also discuss the women in print movement, women’s health movement, and women in business and professions. Finally, we will learn about legal reforms for lesbian families. We will use writings, art, music, video, lecture, and drama from academic and popular sources. There may be guest lectures by lesbian authors, land community members, artists or musicians.
