Message to LGBTQ Studies from New Director, Dr. Lisa Moore
January 2019
I’m honored and delighted to step into the role of Director of LGBTQ Studies. Inaugural Director Ann Cvetkovich, Program Co-ordinator Grayson Hunt, and our superlative Advisory Council have all made this program an exciting and valued space on the UT campus. We are the only such program in Texas, which gives us a distinctive role in both academia and public life. LGBTQ Studies brings the expertise of our faculty and students to the fight for queer and trans lives, rights, and dignity. My door (and email inbox!) is always open to your thoughts, suggestions and concerns. Thank you for joining us as we teach and learn, both on campus and in the community.

Welcome to LGBTQ Studies at UT!
After many years of planning, the new LGBTQ Studies Program launched in Fall 2017. The LGBTQ Studies Program operates under the auspices of the Center for Women’s and Gender Studies and builds from the foundation established by the LGBTQ/Sexualities Research Cluster founded in 2004.

As the visibility of the Program increases, we continue to support LGBTQ life on campus, working in conjunction with organizations such as the Gender Sexuality Center, PEFSA (Pride and Equity Faculty Staff Association), the President’s Advisory Committee on LGBTQ Initiatives, and student LGBTQ groups. Our aim is to facilitate the vision for a gender-inclusive and LGBTQ-friendly campus laid out by the GSC. [read more about the LGBTQ Studies Program]
