Program Outline
Degree Overview:
The minor program in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer+ studies, under the supervision of the Hofstra College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, provides interdisciplinary perspectives on the political, historical, cultural, and psychological contexts in which gender identities and sexualities have been and are currently being expressed. It examines the social and personal meanings of such terms as sexuality, gender, orientation, and choice, as well as the areas of their significance, exclusivity, interconnection and dependency.
Outline:
A minor in LGBTQ+ Studies consists of the successful completion of 18 semester hours including LGBT 001 (3 s.h.) and 15 s.h. chosen under advisement by the program director or another adviser in the program. No more than two courses may have the same prefix, other than LGBTQ+. At least 6 s.h. must be in-residence. These courses can be: (1) other courses labeled LGBT; (2) any course where the LGBTQ+ content meets the criteria of the advisory committee (consult LGBT program director); or (3) an individually-negotiated syllabus (INS) option (see below).
Other:
Students must consult with the program director or another LGBTQ+ adviser to discuss appropriate courses for the minor before registering. For the INS option (category 3 above), in the semester prior to a particular course offering, students must contact the instructor about developing, in consultation with the student, a modified syllabus incorporating substantial LGBTQ+ content. The INS proposal is then submitted to the LGBTQ+ advisory committee for review. Students will work closely with the faculty member to develop an appropriate syllabus and will meet with her or him periodically throughout the semester; they must register for the 1 s.h. course, LGBT 010, conjunction with the regularly scheduled 3 s.h. course. Please consult with the LGBTQ+ program director or the LGBT Studies Web page for a list of professors open to LGBTQ+ Studies proposals.
