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.

College is a unique and wonderful experience, during which an
individual can learn and grow into a better person. College is where lifelong
friendships are formed, it is a crucible that burns very hot, and it melts away
the impurities, the insecurities, and the fears that hamper a person when they
enter. Those who are attending college or have graduated understand.
Some things can make college more difficult, however. A sense of alienation,
for example, can inhibit a student and prevent someone from reaching his or her
full potential. One giagantic source of alienation is being part of a sexual
minority.
This web page is intended to provide links and resources for Gay, Lesbian,
Bisexual and Trasgendered (in other words, Queer) individuals, so hopefully
those of you in college can have a less difficult time of it.

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.

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.

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.

Who We Are

Created under
Annenberg Dean Geoffrey Cowan and Pulitzer-winning journalist
Leroy Aarons,
SOIN works to assure that
journalism education addresses issues affecting sexual minorities along
with other groups in our diverse society. These complex issues permeate
American public life and demand sophisticated coverage.
SOIN aims
to foster better journalism by:
·
Equipping those students entering journalism and other communications
fields to understand the complexities of the debate surrounding gay and
lesbian issues. (See
Enhancing Curricula)
·
Holding
forums and workshops
– with both academics and news professionals – to develop strategies to
ensure that the next generation of graduating journalists is qualified
to address these complex social issues.
·
Providing resources – such as this website – to help journalism
educators address, through the lens of news media, the history and
context of sexual-diversity issues.
·
Conducting surveys, audits and other
research
to analyze news coverage of sexual-orientation issues and translate the
results into a resource for journalism educators. |

Queer Studies is an emerging
interdisciplinary field whose goal is to analyze
antinormative sexual identities, performances, discourses
and representations in order ultimately to destabilize the
notion of normative sexuality and gender. Queer studies
comes out of a critique of identity politics. It rejects
essentialized conceptualization[s] of sexuality, gender, and
sexual identity as innate or fixed. It represents a
deconstruction of hegemonic conceptions of sexual and gender
categories within straight, gay and lesbian communities. In
queer studies, the interpretation, enactment, and
destabilizing of sexual identities is linked to that of
gender categories. The queer studies concentration's home in
the Program for the Study of Women and Gender makes explicit
these links between theories of gender and sexuality.

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.

LGBT Studies focus
on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, their
history and culture, considering sexualities and genders
as identities, social statuses, categories of knowledge,
and as lenses that help us to frame how we understand
our world. A central core of courses is complemented by
interdisciplinary courses taught across campus or by
specialized syllabi for students taking a course that
could lend itself to LGBT studies. Currently, a minor in
LGBT Studies is available as part of the Hofstra College
of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
