Course will examine questions such as: ‘Who are we socially when our bodies need to go?’

“The course, which is being offered by the university’s department of theater, dance, and performance studies, will force students to confront the public restroom as a “charged social site,” and consider compelling bathroom-related questions, including:

Who has access to it? Who cleans it? How have public restrooms segregated people into strict categories of gender, race, class and ability? What does it mean for a public space to be designed for private activities? Who are we socially when our bodies need to go?”

Segregated spaces of all sorts were the norm a century ago, but gradually, all but one became mixed.

“If LGBT rights can be thought of as a house tour, the country has clearly moved from the bedroom (anti-sodomy laws) to the kitchen (the banal domesticity of same-sex marriage laws) to the toilet. But the question of bathroom politics has never been purely about privacy, or even about public spaces. It’s about the collision of those public spaces with cultural expectations at specific moments in time. “

Sheila Cavanagh, the author of “Queering Bathrooms,” discusses why and how public restrooms have become a civil-rights flashpoint.
