Sexuality Studies

Minor Only

The interdisciplinary minor in Sexuality Studies offers students a unique opportunity to study the concept of sexuality —including sexual identities, desires and practices — by examining its changing meanings and effects across different political, historical and cultural landscapes. Sexuality studies pays particular attention to how gender, race, class, nation, empire, colonialism and globalization shape popular understandings of sexuality, and how these understandings of sexuality in turn affect social, political and economic relations of power. A unique and powerful supplement to any major, students are able to implement the knowledge and skills of this minor to any field of study.
