The Sexual Diversity Studies program (Specialist, Major, Minor) allows students to examine, critically assess, and question how sexuality influences lives across local and global settings. This interdisciplinary program offers dynamic academic exploration of historical and modern sexual practices as they intersect with race, class, gender, disability, and citizenship status, alongside other social dynamics. Our curriculum encourages thoughtful discussions about queer and normative sexualities, the development of sexual, racial, and gender identities (including gender-nonconforming individuals), and sexuality's cultural and political impact throughout North America and internationally.
