    Description
    This interdisciplinary course introduces students to concepts, theories, and research findings through a sociological perspective in the study of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) issues with particular attention to the operation of social institutions. Topics include politics, policy and governance of LGBT issues, social movements and resistance, biological and environmental impacts on identity, equity, equality and inclusion, privilege and disadvantage, queer activism; diverse experiences of sexuality; and representations in literature, art, and popular culture. The class emphasizes ways in which sexual identities intersect with and shape other categories of identity, including class, race and ethnicity, and social class. Formerly SOC 140. C-ID SJS-130.
