The BA program in social and cultural analysis with a concentration in queer and sexuality studies combines transdisciplinary topics and methods to critically analyze the function of ideologies of sexuality, the history and present conditions of sexual identity formation, structural inequalities and queer resistance to those same inequalities and the diversity of LGBTQ communities.

Students can explore the impact of culture, race, religion and law on equality through one of over 250 unique study abroad experiences. More information is available on the Global Education website.
