Director: Andrea Dini
The minor in GLBTQ Studies is an interdisciplinary program of study. The 18 credit minor is designed for students to critically examine and creatively explore the construction and maintenance of gendered identities, sexualities, and related discourses and practices, in a variety of contexts. Students will study academic and activist scholarship that describes, analyzes, interprets and critiques a diversity of gendered and sexual identities, communities, institutions, and representations; they will also analyze materials and events from popular culture and socio-political policy and action. Each student should consult with the Program Coordinator to work out a suitable course of study to meet the minor's requirements.
