This course explores issues of social justice by probing relationships between identity, politics, history, and literature in plays and memoirs organized around Fat Studies and Identity. A section of this course might focus on literature by writers that explore the goal, the ideal, or the absence of fair and equitable divisions of resources, opportunities, and privileges. Study of this literature may involve the examination of literary forms, traditions, movements, institutions, and/or genres, as well as critical theories on such topics as race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexual orientation, fat studies, and disability.
