Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Studies
This minor introduces students to the field of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Studies. The minor is open and welcoming to all students and offers a sustained opportunity to learn about LGBTQ experience, history and scholarship, as well as explore fundamental questions about sexualities, bodies, identities, communities, social movements and liberation politics. As an interdisciplinary field, LGBTQ Studies critically examine the significance of sexuality and gender identity to social organization, cultural production and historical change from a wide range of academic disciplines. The flexibility of the minor curriculum allows students to focus their studies in a particular area of interest, intersect with their major(s) or explore a diverse array of topics across different cultures and historical periods. The minor also offers a range of courses through SU Abroad programs.
The LGBTQ Studies minor can provide specialized knowledge and critical skills that are valuable in a wide range of careers, including health, social work, education, law, communications, artistic practice, politics and business.
For more information, contact the program director or visit our main office at 247 Sims Hall.
