About LGBTQ+ Studies

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ+) studies is an emerging, rapidly-growing field of scholarship. This guide offers an entry point to resources that focus primarily on various aspects of LGBTQ+ studies. However, because this is an interdisciplinary area of research, relevant materials can be found in a wide range of reference sources which do not have a LGBTQ+ studies focus.
