Trinity College

Students interested in gay and lesbian issues should take notice of the following courses that, when taught by the indicated faculty, bear on sexualities, sexual orientation, lesbian, gay and bisexual liberation and their histories, the new masculinities and femininities, the new scholarship in the debates between social constructionist and essentialist views of genders and sexual orientations, and the marginalizing vs. universalizing discourses on homosexualities.
