Transnationalizing LGBT Studies
Chancellor’s Leadership Project
2009-2011

This award gives us the opportunity and the resources to move our LGBT/Queer courses and scholarship beyond national borders to engage questions of sexual and gender identities, theories, communities, movements, diasporas, and politics from global and transnational perspectives by pursuing with colleagues in the US and in Spain (and other parts of the world) significant questions about LGBT/Queer pedagogy and curriculum:

• What new theoretical and political frameworks have emerged since LGBT/Queer Studies has taken the transnational turn
• How does this turn influence what and how we teach LGBT/Queer Studies to university students in our various sites?
• In what ways do we connect with scholars and scholarship from across the globe?

We explored these questions and more at a conference/workshop at Syracuse University from September 23-25, 2010 and we will continue that conversation at a conference/workshop in Madrid from July 3-5, 2011.
