Description
This exciting interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary minor offers students critical tools for understanding sexuality as an identity, behavior, or practice, and axis of inequality and power; the curriculum especially emphasizes understanding LGBTQ+ identities and experiences, and “queer” as a theoretical lens and tool. The minor is designed to be flexible and easy to combine with a variety of majors, minors, and/or microcredentials, especially in humanities and social sciences. Students who might be interested in combining the queer studies minor with another WGST program-the WGST major or minor- should consult with the WGST program coordinator early in their time at Geneseo in order to evaluate whether such a combination will be possible in their particular case. The minor involves two required courses and a combination of electives from the two lists below. Students should consult with the WGST coordinator when choosing courses. They may also receive permission to waive in some courses not offered on the list below such as experimental or new courses on relevant topics.
