Mission Statement
The LGBT Studies Program at Hofstra University investigates the broad spectrum of sexual identities from serious scholarly perspectives, including but not restricted to biology, classical studies, communications, cultural studies, fine arts, history, literature, philosophy, psychology, and sociology. The program is interdisciplinary and designed to offer students various viewpoints from which to examine diversity – diversity of culture, but also diversity in families, communities, histories, institutions, languages and literatures, economics and politics, as well as the complex social and cultural relations between marginalized sexualities and the heterosexual majority. Gender, sexual identities, discourses, and institutions are studied as they intersect with class, race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, and transnational movements.
