LEGAL 392LA – Legal Activism and Same Sex Marriage
Christopher Sweetapple

Drawing on contemporary, interdisciplinary scholarship and the series of US court opinions about same-sex marriage from the 1970s to present, this course interrogates the germination of an ostensible constitutional right to same sex-marriage as an outgrowth of the gay and lesbian movement in order to theorize the relationship between neoliberalism, cultural change and legal activism in the late 20th- and early 21st-century United States. From Baker v. Nelson (1971) through Obergefell v. Hodges (2015), we will carefully track the history of how gays and lesbians challenged American law and society by reading these court opinions alongside historical studies, ethnography and critical scholarship of the social movements and political entities which have forced the same-sex marriage issue via grassroots activism, media spectacle and lawfare.

Imagine how lucky a future employer would be to have a college graduate with such knowledge!
