Unit 3
Hegemony and Counterhegemony
Hegemony and Counterhegemony
Following our unit on systems and power, students consider hegemonic ideas regarding gender and sexuality, reflect on how gender has shaped their life experiences, and learn how people have resisted and challenged gender expectations and the disempowerment of LGBTQ+ communities and individuals. For their culminating project, students research and write a "lost" history page that details queer history and queer contributions and presence in society.
