Gay and Lesbian Studies

University LGBT/Queer Programs

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Transsexual
Queer
Studies in the USA and Canada
plus
Sibling Societies & Study-Abroad Programs

The following information is based on:

the list originally published in the Lesbian and Gay Studies Newsletter [LGSN] 22.1 [Mar 1995] 14-15),
the results of a casual survey conducted over the Summer 1997,
information culled from issues of the Committeee on Lesbian and Gay History Newsletter (CLGH),
current issues of the Lesbian and Gay Studies Newsletter (LGSN),
a document listing courses generously supplied by C. Shepard, director of the Campus Project of the NGLTF, 1995 (these include, in parentheses, the name of the instructor and the year first given),
the list of LGBT Campus Centers maintained by "National Consortium of Directors of LGBT Resourses in Higher Education": http://www.lgbtcampus.org/directory.htm,
updates and information supplied by friends and allies at the various universities and colleges thesmselves (many thanks!),
and my own searches through the college & university homepages (for a list of American University & College WWW homepages: http://www.clas.ufl.edu/CLAS/american-universities.html.
My procedure has been to search for the word "lesbian" in homepage searches, to look for LGBT groups under "Student Organizations", and to scan for courses in, and cross-listed by, Women's Studies, Cultural Studies, and Multicultural Programs, and in/by Sociology, Anthropology, and English departments.

These lists are not exhaustive; they include only information that I have received, not necessarily confirmed.
