Princeton gender studies program to offer 'sex work,' 'queer spaces' courses

The university's course dedicated to sex work appears to focus on the stigmatization and controversies surrounding the topic as well as power dynamics and societal expectations.

The program's "queer spaces" course similarly analyzes institutional and historical power dynamics through the lenses of gender-related theories. 

"How do we reconcile seeming absences and actual acts of erasure that stare back at us from the archive? How can feminist, gender, queer and trans* theory help us chart new avenues for writing critical architectural histories that are attentive to discourses of difference but also narratives of equity?" and "Which methods, beyond conventional modes of architectural inquiry, can we employ to uncover histories of groups and institutions that have actively resisted dominant regimes of power and their corresponding systems of knowledge?"

Reading lists of materials that will be incorporated into coursework were included on the webpage containing information for each class.

Other universities across the U.S. have similarly offered courses related to queer studies.

Texas Christian University also offered a "Queer Art of Drag" course that asked students to create a "drag persona" last year. 

Fox News Digital reached out to Princeton University for comment on the courses, but did not immediately hear back.
