Out in the Mountains
Vermont’s SIT
Launches Lesbian,
Gay, Bi Studies
Program

The School for International Training
(SIT) in Brattleboro announced that it is
launching the first-ever U.S. under-
graduate lesbian, gay, bisexual study
abroad program. It will be held in the
Netherlands starting in February. The se-
mester long program, open to students at-
tending colleges and universities
throughout the U.S., will feature inter-
disciplinary seminars on life and culture
of the Netherlands, a country with a long
history of tolerance. Faculty from the
University of Utrecht and the University
of Amsterdam will lecture on lesbian,
gay and bisexual studies. Representatives
from numerous organizations will par-
ticipate as well. The curriculum will in-
clude such topics as social theories of
sexuality, homosexuality and the law,
lesbian and gay families, and a survey of
lesbian and gay literature.

Students will receive language training
and have home stays with Dutch fam-
ilies, including lesbian and gay families.
Field trips are planned to Copenhagen
and/or Berlin, homes of Europe’s largest
gay communities. An increasing number
of U.S. universities and colleges offer a
lesbian, gay, and bisexual studies ‘cur-
riculum, including Brown University, the
University of Massachusetts/Arnherst,
and Middlebury College. SIT’s program
is the first study abroad program to be
dedicated to the topic.
