Sexuality & Queer Studies Minor
The Sexuality & Queer Studies minor offers students an interdisciplinary course of study focused on the histories, experiences, contributions, activism, and community-based knowledges of LGBTQ+ people. All of these elements are considered intersectionally and within the context of larger social, political, and structural formations, including heterosexism, heteronormativity and transphobia. This specific focus is contrasted with the broader consideration of gender, sexuality and women in the Women’s & Gender Studies minor. A Sexuality & Queer Studies minor signals to graduate/professional schools and employers knowledge of an important field and expertise in diversity and inclusion.
