The Women’s Studies Program offers a correlate sequence in Queer Studies. Queer Studies is a multidisciplinary field focusing on sexuality as a medical, legal, and cultural category of social organization centering on lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, and transgender identities. Queer Studies critiques dominant conceptions of sexuality, particularly as they intersect with constructions of gender, race, nation, class, and ability. Arising from and intersecting with feminist, anti-racist, post-colonial, and other social movements, Queer Studies combines a range of historical, theoretical, literary, and epistemological approaches. A correlate in Queer Studies offers students the methodologies to interrogate normative and binary definitions of sexuality and sexual identity. Students learn how Queer activism and scholarship have made important critical interventions in work on poverty, immigration, policing and mass incarceration, health care and reproductive rights, militarization, and imperialism.
