Define globalism and neo- liberalism using no fewer than three sources from the syllabus, and explain why these processes are important to LGBTQ history. Focus primarily on the second half of the twentieth century, and make sure to use at least one of the following authors in order to define globalization and neo-liberalism: Sandoval, Quang-Anh Tran, Bucar/Enke, Santiago, Awondo/Geschiere/Reid, and/or Cheney. Explain how “Western” understandings of identity (LGBTQ identity) might be understood in a global or neo- liberal context, the possibilities for transnational organizing on the basis of shared LGBTQ rights, and the ways in which the “Western” discourse of LGBTQ identity fails to account for the complexity of gender, sex, and identity outside of North America or Western Europe.
