To celebrate this year’s LGBTQ+ History Month, the School of Law’s Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee are highlighting useful resources online and around campus. As part of our commitment to increasing the visibility of LGBTQ+ people in law and the impact of law on LGBTQ+ people we are proud to present a reading list that showcases Queer perspective in the discipline of Law.
