LGBT Studies
 The LGBT Studies Program at UCLA is an interdisciplinary program that supports
teaching and research on the historical and contemporary experience of lesbians, gay
men, bisexuals, and transgendered people. It provides an academic home for those
who wish to study the intellectual and cultural traditions that have shaped our
current understanding of sexuality and gender, as well as for those who wish to
challenge such traditions and generate new theoretical paradigms. The program
sponsors courses, offers an undergraduate minor, organizes lecture series, facilitates
the study of minority sexualities and genders in the broadest interdisciplinary
context, and tries to bring together interested students, faculty, and members of the
larger Los Angeles community.
