University of Utah class explores ‘Black Trans Lesbian Marxists’ and radical literature

This semester, the University of Utah English Department is offering a course on “Black Trans Lesbian Marxists Who Scare You (and are probably pro-Palestinian too).”

Dr. Craig Dworkin, the professor who is currently teaching students in this class, told Campus Reform that the “class takes the rhetoric of reactionaries seriously and hopes to find out why they’re so hateful and what they’re so afraid of.”

The course description states “we’re all about the viewpoint diversity.”

The readings for this class include “Mucus in My Pineal Gland” by Steven Zultanski and “The Autobiography of the Other Lady Gaga” by Stefani J. Alvarez, both of which include explicit sexual language.

“Many pieces focus on childhood and early sexual experiences,” says a reviewer of the required reading for this course titled “Mucus in My Pineal Gland.” Alvaraz’s collection includes a piece simply called “naked,” and several others which discuss sexual acts.

Other readings include “Sympathetic Little Monster” by Cameron Awkward-Rich. Awkward-Rich includes poems named “Faggot Poetics,” “Vagina Monologue,” and “Argument for the Low-Budget Gay Movie.”

There are also required listenings by Julius Eastman, which go by the titles “Gay Guerrilla” and “Evil N****r.”

“There might be — there are, of course, ninety-nine names of Allah but then there are fifty-two n*****s,” reportedly said Eastman during the 1980 premiere of these pieces. “And so, therefore, we are playing two of these n*****s.”
