The program reflects current critical, theoreti- cal, and methodological developments across several disciplines that focus on lesbian, gay, and bisexual issues. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Intersexual, and Transgender Studies are by nature interdisciplinary, and this program is meant to encourage new cross-disciplinary research in the field for interested students in the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences. The curriculum addresses such issues as sexual identity and orientation; gay, lesbian, and bisexual representation; gay, les- bian, and bisexual perspectives on the arts; retheorizations of gender; sexuality and cultural diversity; intersections of sexualities and ethnic identities.
