Essay on nature of queer theology 2. Presentation analysing a queer text, artwork, or event 3. Integrative essay. See unit guide for requirements and the ARK meta site for grading criteria.

There is no textbook for this course as such. However Greenough, Chris. Queer Theologies: The Basics (New York: Routledge 2019) offers an introductory overview of the field and range of developed and developing studies which may be particularly helpful.
