Queer studies minor

The queer studies minor helps students analyze gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, and two-spirit subjects and objects. Importantly, the minor also provides them with the tools to understand queer studies theories and methods.

Students who undertake the minor will study and apply intersectional theories and methods and explore how diversities shape and are shaped by power relations, affiliations, and contestations among race, gender, ethnicity, citizenship, transnationalism, empire, colonialism, class, and ability.
