Transfers ToNot transferableDescriptionThis introductory course offers a comprehensive examination of contemporary LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) issues. We will explore these topics through the lens of diverse sociological theories (such as queer theory, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism) to understand the social construction of sexualities and gender identities. The course also introduces fundamental social science research methods, enabling students to critically analyze empirical findings related to LGBTQ+ experiences in various contexts, including bio-medical, political, racial, and sexual spheres.
