I'm finalizing the syllabus for my course on race,class, gender and sexuality in social theory. Suggestions are very much welcome! (The selection of authors will have to stay the same though)

I will cut adrift—I will sit on pavements and drink coffee—I will dream; I will take my mind out of its iron cage and let it swim—this fine October.
