Queer and Sexuality Studies

Why choose queer and sexuality studies at Geneseo?

This interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary minor offers students critical tools for understanding sexuality as an identity, behavior, or practice, and axis of inequality and power. The curriculum emphasizes understanding LGBTQ+ identities and experiences and “queer” as a theoretical lens and tool.
