About

About

Emerging from a collaboration between the History Department and the Brown University Library, the Initiative on Sexualities and Genders (ISG) cultivates intellectual community and builds research capacity among scholars of LGBTQ Studies who engage with archival methods in the interpretive social sciences at Brown and beyond.

Through exhibitions, courses, public lectures, hands-on workshops and seminars, ISG activates materials in the Global Lavender Voices Strategic Collecting Direction at the John Hay Library–Brown’s special collections library–and presents the best new research in LGBTQ Studies on topics about the queer past and present.
