• LGBTQ and Sexuality Studies Minor - The academic minor in Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Queer, Transgender and Sexuality Studies offers an interdisciplinary approach to sexuality in relation to such things as religious beliefs, legal codes, medical constructions, and social movements, and recognizes these as historically variable and culturally specific. The minor acquaints students with the history of sexuality and with the contributions of empirical research, feminist scholarship, and queer theory to understanding the formation of sexual identities. http://www.lsa.umich.edu/women/undergraduate/minors.html#lgbtqss
