LGBTQ Studies, Minor
|
|
LGBTQ Studies is an 18 unit interdisciplinary minor housed within the Department of Gender, Race, and Identity (GRI). Focused on the varied histories, cultures, politics, and identities associated with and created among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, two-spirit, intersex, and other (LGBTQ+) people in the United States and transnationally, the minor offers a variety of courses in the arts, the humanities, and social sciences. LGBTQ Studies situates sexual and gender identities in the contexts of their social construction, exploring the intersections of sexuality and gender with race, ethnicity, class, nationality, citizenship status, dis/ability, and other forms of power, and foregrounding questions of social justice for LGBTQ+ people and their communities. Students in the minor explore a range of interdisciplinary and theoretical approaches in the field, and study LGBTQ+ experiences in a variety of settings including the arts and culture; law and justice; health and family; politics and the economy; and other realms.
