Thursday, Sept. 19 — Celebrating the launch this semester of a new LGBTQ and Sexuality Studies undergraduate specialization, Michigan State University is hosting an all day symposium Friday welcoming the new discipline.
Friday’s events include poetry readings, presentations on emerging LGBTQ studies and a student resource fair. All events are at Synder-Phillips Hall on campus, starting at 10 a.m. and going till 7 p.m.
The specialization is a joint project of MSU’s Center for Gender in Global Context, Lyman Briggs College, the College of Arts and Letters and the Residential College in the Arts and Humanities. It is open to students starting this fall semester.
