Introduction to LGBTQ+ Studies: A Cross-Disciplinary Approach
While complete comprehensiveness is near impossible for a single novel, this text avoids many of the more glaring absences that have occurred in previous works. An overview of thirty years of queer theory opens the book as its foundation. This integrative, umbrella approach is a welcome reflection of the current field, as opposed to the chronological presentation often used, in which queer theory/studies are described as more of a later outgrowth of LGBTQ Studies. Global perspectives are then foregrounded via the subsequent chapter, avoiding the Western and anglophone biases of previous surveys. Subsequent chapters cover the scope of humanities as well as social science disciplines. Instructors may wish to augment the text, however, with additional material on trans oppression and LGBTQ+ sport studies, given the current relevance of these in contemporary cultural attacks.
I found no inaccuracies.
This text is more relevant than ever, given the re-centering of anti-LGBTQ politics by the United States right wing,

Throughout the program of study, we contemplate the full range of genders, sexualities, races, ethnicities, classes, physical abilities, religions, and political persuasions that characterize current LGBTQ+ movements and communities.

An Intersectional Study of LGBTQI2+ Identities, Culture, Art, History, and Society
Through the Arts, Humanities, Social Sciences, and Behavioral Sciences, the LGBT Studies department focuses on the intersections of sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, race, ethnicity, socio-economics, global location, religion, and ability. Through the interdisciplinary lenses of queer theory, trans theory, theories of race and ethnicity, feminist theory, and the study of comparative social justice and political movements, our courses examine the ways that we currently understand and have historically understood various constructions of sexuality, gender identity and behavior depending upon historic moment and global location.
