Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies is an interdisciplinary program offering courses that focus on issues related to sexuality. Areas of study include the history of homosexuality; the social constructs of gender and sexual identity; cross-cultural gay communities; the regulatory institutions of human sexuality; queer politics; lesbian and gay culture, representation, subjectivity, and sexual differences; and lesbian and gay literary theories. A minor in lesbian, bisexual, and gay studies can easily complement studies in such fields as anthropology, art history, classics, English and other literatures, government, history, philosophy, psychology, music, and theatre, as well as sociology.
