    Description
    This course is an introduction to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Plus (LGBTQ+) Studies, and examines LGBTQ+ Studies as an interdisciplinary field. In particular, the course takes up the influences of history, politics, media, and health care as they relate to the LGBTQ+ community. Throughout this course, students work toward a deeper understanding of the intersectional dynamics of privilege and oppression as significant LGBTQ+ issues.
