About This Program

Co-Coordinator: Dawn M. Queer studies offers a critique of normative models of sex, gender and sexuality, arguing for the validity and significance of various marginalized identities and practices as well as identifying the mechanisms and structures of power fundamental to systemic oppression. Along with sexism, homophobia and transphobia, queer studies examines racism, capitalism, imperialism and ableism, among other forms of inequality. Students in the minor will acquire knowledge and skills that prepare them for careers in advocacy, communications, health and social services and education. Students are limited to no more than nine (9) credits in a single discipline.
