The queer studies minor provides students with opportunities to research and understand a rapidly growing field whose focus is study of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and allied peoples, their histories and cultures. Queer studies is a method of inquiry that explores the role of same-sex desire and constructions of gender across and among cultures and histories. In these classes, students will consider sexualities and genders as identities and social statuses, as categories of knowledge, and as lenses that help to frame how we understand our world. The minor consists of interdisciplinary coursework in queer studies and is open to all students. Students who wish to pursue the queer studies minor should consult with the queer studies coordinator at queer.studies@unh.edu or contact the program through the women’s studies office, (603) 862-2194.
