Sexuality & Queer Studies Minor in the News

EWU Women’s and Gender Studies program’s new minor in Sexuality and Queer Studies was featured in an article by Chad Sokol in the Spokesman Review.

‘Eastern Washington University has expanded its course offerings to include a minor in sexuality and queer studies – part of an effort, faculty members say, to incorporate more teachings about LGBT communities.

“This is the first part of a larger revision of the curriculum,” said Judy Rohrer, director of the EWU Women’s and Gender Studies Program.

The program already offered a major and a minor in women’s and gender studies, which include courses on feminist movements and theories. The new minor, offered starting this fall quarter, explores the history, activism and contributions of LGBT people.’
