Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender Minor

The minor focuses on the history, politics, and cultures of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered persons. Courses explore the diversity of GLBT communities, the history and present conditions of sexual identity formation, and the institutionalization of ideologies of sexuality. Core courses focus on issues related to the history, culture, social, and political formations and experiences of GLBT people, and also on GLBT/queer theory. Elective courses are drawn from lists of GLBT-focused courses (emphasizing GLBT issues/experiences) and of GLBT-component courses (having at least one-quarter of their content related to GLBT/queer theory or the history, culture, social, political formations, and experiences of GLBT people).
