Examine and better understand the lives, representations, and intellectual contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer communities, across cultures and throughout time.
Among the first in the nation, ºÚÁÏÍø’s LGBTQ Studies Program is one of just a few similar programs offered throughout the country.
Intertwining overt and covert discourses on sexuality permeate all facets of society, offering a critical lens for analysis of the formation and evolution of communities, cultures, institutions, movements, hierarchies, and identity.
Students in our LGBTQ Studies Program gain critical understandings of normative categorization, question unspoken assumptions, examine social stratification and distributions of power, and explore the diversity of forms that sexuality has taken historically and in contemporary contexts.
The program offers a minor in LGBTQ Studies.
