may also elect a queer studies concentration.

Our conferences in queer studies, Queer Studies/Queer Activism in 1998 and
Homeland Insecurity: Civil Liberties, Repression, and Citizenship in the
1950s in 2003 (http://www.smith.edu/civlib),have brought us national
attention and create lasting networks of scholars in the field.

includes Amherst,Hampshire and Mount Holyoke Colleges, the University of
Massachusetts, and the Five College Women's Studies Research Center that
attracts national and international fellows.
