RELATED COURSE LISTINGS

There are a number of significant areas of studies in which Williams offers many relevant courses, yet no formal program. To alert students to the opportunity for integrating courses from diverse disciplines into a focus area and to encourage them to do so, the courses in this section are organized as lists of topic-related courses. For their full descriptions, see the respective departmental sections.

Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual Studies

Gay, lesbian, and bisexual studies focuses on the social construction of sexuality, past and present. Although, at present, Williams does not have a formal concentration in gay, lesbian, and bisexual studies, the College offers a number of courses which examine how social, cultural, and political institutions shape sexualities, as well as the responses and resistances thereto, through a variety of texts and contexts. The following courses include significant components on gay, lesbian, and bisexual studies (at least two weeks out of the semester).
