The LGBTQ Studies Minor at Loyola Marymount University offers an interdisciplinary exploration of the diverse and complex experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals and communities. The program is designed to engage students in critical discussions about the historical, cultural, and social dimensions of sexuality and gender, equipping them with the theoretical tools necessary to analyze and understand the ways in which these identities intersect with other social categories. In addition to a strong emphasis on local contexts, the program is deeply committed to a transnational approach that highlights the global dimensions of LGBTQ identities and movements. By critically examining how sexuality and gender are constructed and contested across different cultural, political, and geographic contexts, students will gain a nuanced understanding of LGBTQ issues on a global scale. By drawing on perspectives from the humanities, social sciences, and other disciplines, the minor encourages students to critically examine both historical and contemporary issues, contributing to a deeper appreciation of sexual diversity and the ongoing struggles for equality and justice.
