Introduction to LGBTQ+ Studies ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

This course provides an introduction to the field of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) Studies. We will ask, what does it means to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer, both historically and today? We will explore multiple answers to this question by learning about LGBTQ+ life through a variety of disciplines, including anthropology, history, psychology, educational, health and wellness, and the study of queer culture and media. Furthermore, we will incorporate race, class, gender and sexuality and other aspects of identity into our analyses of power, privilege, and oppression for LGBTQ+ people.
