LGBTQ Research Consortium
The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) Research Consortium was established to support cutting-edge interdisciplinary scholarship; to provide opportunities of collaborative research and grant writing across the colleges; to organize colloquia, lecture series and outreach events for disseminating research and scholarship; to establish national and international partnerships; and to foster network-building among academics, community members, and policy makers locally and nationally. The Consortium also will co-sponsor activities for examining and affirming LGBTQ lives, in conjunction with SafeZones and student groups.
