CLAGS: The Center for LGBTQ Studies

The Center for LGBTQ Studies provides intellectual leadership in addressing issues that affect lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals and other sexual and gender minorities. As the first university-based LGBTQ research center in the United States, CLAGS nurtures cutting-edge scholarship, organizes events for examining and affirming LGBTQ lives, and fosters network-building among academics, artists, activists, policy makers, and community members. CLAGS maintains a broad program of public events, online projects, and fellowships that promote reflection on queer pasts, presents, and futures.
CLAGS celebrates the publication of Queer Then and Now: The David R. Kessler Lectures 2002-2020!
