Cross Campus Resources

Welcome to the National Consortium of Directors of Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender Resources in Higher Education. We were officially born at the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force's Creating Change Conference in San Diego (November, 1997), but had already been working together on an informal basis for several years. The combined vision and mission on the Consortium is to achieve higher education environments in which lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students, faculty, staff, administrators, and alumni have equity in every respect. Our goals are to support colleagues and develop curriculum to professionally enhance this work; to seek climate improvement on campuses; and to advocate for policy change, program development, and establishment of LGBT Office/Centers. We are a not-for-profit organization and can accept your tax-deductible donation.

Welcome to the Gay Student Center. This is both a separate community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and questioning students, as well as a fully integrated part of The Student Center, one of the leading community sites for college students, high school students, and teens. The Student Center has always had a very vibrant and visible number of GLB students and it was felt that there should be a section specifically for the GLB student community, so here we are.

Multicultural Queer Studies Minor

Multicultural Queer Studies is a cutting-edge interdisciplinary field, tackling core issues related to sexual orientation and identity, gender identity, new social movements, and the nexus of race, ethnicity, and sexuality.

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender
Studies Minor

LGBT Studies works to establish sexuality as a crucial category of analysis in the humanities and social sciences. It draws on disciplines such as anthropology, sociology, psychology, history, literature, and cultural studies, in order to document the extent to which sexuality itself is a complex cultural and historical phenomenon that bears careful examination. Just as Women's Studies, for instance, is not only by, about, and for women, LGBT Studies is not only by, about, or for lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered people, but includes all humanity in its purview.

LGBTStudiesUCLA

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies Program at UCLA is an interdisciplinary program that supports teaching and research on the historical and contemporary experience of lesbians, gay men, bisexuals, and transgendered people. It provides an academic home for those who wish to study the intellectual and cultural traditions that have shaped our current understanding of sexuality and gender, as well as for those who wish to challenge such traditions and generate new theoretical paradigms. The program sponsors courses, offers an undergraduate minor, organizes lecture series, facilitates the study of minority sexualities and genders in the broadest interdisciplinary context, and tries to bring together interested students, faculty, and members of the larger Los Angeles community.

Connecticut

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies at Yale University supports the LGBTQ community at Yale through academic programs including courses, lectures, conferences and symposia, special events, and community building activities. It is possible to major in Women's, Gender & Sexuality Studies and elect the Lesbian and Gay Studies track, or secure a graduate qualification in the field. There are several undergraduate and graduate student organizations representing the diversity and interest of this community at Yale.

Illinois

The University of Chicago has become a major center for research and graduate training in lesbian, gay and queer studies. The LESBIAN & GAY STUDIES PROJECT (LGSP), an integral part of the University's Center for Gender Studies, coordinates graduate and undergraduate courses, provides research grants and dissertation-year fellowships to graduate students, co-sponsors the bi-weekly Gender & Sexuality Studies Workshop, and organizes research projects and conferences. It provides an interdisciplinary locus for Chicago faculty and graduate students who study the historical, cultural, and textual construction of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and other queer identities, cultures, and politics; analyze those formations or the dominant culture and social theory from the perspective of queer theory.

Indiana

Gender Studies is a transdisciplinary department engaging students in the study of gender and the intersection of gender with other substantive categories of analysis and identity, including race, sexuality, class, disability, and nationality. Our curriculum offerings push students beyond commonsense accounts of gender to examine its complex constructions in our different historical epochs, in various cultural arenas, and varying global processes.   Gender Studies engages with a wide variety of innovative approaches and methodologies, broad in reach - yet unified through a critical angle of vision.

Lesbian, Bisexual, & Gay Studies Program
Cornell University

The field of Lesbian, Bisexual and Gay Studies is devoted to the study of sexuality and its importance to the organization of social relations more generally. Primary among its concerns is also the study of lives, the politics, and the creative work of sexual minorities. LBG Studies is founded on the premise that the social organization of sexuality is best studied from the perspectives offered by those positions that have been excluded from established social and cultural norms and best approached from an interdisciplinary perspective. At present, the program includes courses that study sexuality and sexual minorities from a variety of perspectives: anthropological, psychological, sociological, biological, political, historical, literary, and artistic. Although LBG Studies is housed in Feminist, Gender, & Sexuality Studies, only those courses that devote a significant amount of their time to sexuality and to questioning the historical institution of exclusive heterosexuality qualify for the LBG concentration.

GENDER AND SEXUALITY STUDIES

The Master of Arts in Liberal Studies in Gender and Sexuality Studies

The Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MALS) provides an opportunity to explore a wide range of themes concerning gender and sexuality. Our faculty includes those with expertise in women’s studies, gay and lesbian theory, cultural studies, history, business and economics, public policy, sociology, and psychology. Many of our students are exploring the relationship of gender to human development, social equity, and culture. Others, as lesbians and gays, parents and children, and allies, are analyzing the ways in which the presence (or absence) of gay people impacts politics, society, or the arts. Whatever the basis for your interest in studies in gender and sexuality, the MALS offers the opportunity to broaden and deepen your background knowledge in a woman-friendly and gay-friendly environment as you become steeped in emerging scholarship and develop effective skills of research and advocacy.

New York University

Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality

The Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality (CSGS) is among the few centers in the U.S. with a named emphasis on both gender and sexuality. The Center facilitates a broad interdisciplinary investigation of gender and sexuality as keys to understanding human experience.

CSGS organizes events throughout the academic year, including seminars, panel discussions, film screenings, and conferences. These events are all open to the public and provide a vital and lively meeting-place where scholars, students, artists, and activists can discuss issues involving gender and sexuality, and their intersections with other social phenomena such as race, religion, nation, class, ability/disability and ethnicity. The Center also co-sponsors events and conferences with schools and departments at NYU, and with other universities in the New York area.

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies is an interdisciplinary field that engages questions extending across a number of areas of study. Sarah Lawrence College offers students the opportunity to explore a range of theories and issues concerning gender and sexuality across cultures, categories, and historical periods. This can be accomplished through seminar course work and discussion and/or individual conference research.
