Minor in LGBTQ2S+ Studies
The LGBTQ2S+ Studies minor provides students with an interdisciplinary, intersectional approach to exploring the Canadian and international histories and cultures of LGBTQ2S+ identities. You’ll explore communities, anti-LGBTQ2S+ attitudes and actions, and strategies of LGBTQ2S+ resistance. The minor consists of 6 courses, including a required course from an approved list (such as Queer Theory, LGBTQ2S+ Histories, or Queer Sociology). A maximum of 2 courses per discipline may count towards the minor.
Studying Abroad
Going abroad for a school, work, or volunteer program is a unique journey for every student. The Identity Abroad Handbook offers advice for 2SLGBTQ+ students and folks from diverse backgrounds and cultures. Use this guide to help you navigate cultural contexts, personal safety, and community support while overseas.
TMU Libraries
Explore the variety of 2SLGBTQ+ resources available through the TMU Libraries. The 2SLGBTQ+ Studies Research Guide will help you find the material you need, from books to movies to statistics, to support your studies of the community and its history. There’s also a dedicated 2SLGBTQ+ and the Law Research Guide highlighting key 2SLGBTQ+ law materials available to the TMU community.
