Let me just quote a few choice items from a CLAGS brochure: The Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies, formally established in 1991 after a five-year planning period, has played a key role in the establishment of the new field of lesbian and gay studies. The center is headed by a multicultural, interdisciplinary Board of Directors, representing academic, cultural, civic, and community-based concerns throughout the New York metropolitan area. base at the U. of Oklahoma.) Through its sponsorship of public forums, a monthly research colloquium, scholarships, and many other programs, CLAGS has pursued its primary mission to gather, disseminate, and encourage scholarship on the lesbian and gay experience. The Center also seeks to provide an institutional base for CUNY faculty and graduate students and other scholars in the New York area who are working on lesbian and gay-related topics and to serve as a focal point for a national and international network of lesbian and gay scholars. (VN: at the recent board meeting, Martin Duberman announced that the plan to create at the CUNY Graduate School a Ph.D. program in multicultural studies is moving ahead nicely. Lesbian and gay studies will be included in this Ph.D. program. If all goes well, within a few years, CUNY students will be able to work toward a Ph.D. degree in lesbian and gay studies.) (VN: we are also in the final stages of preparing for publication a directory of lesbian and gay scholars worldwide.)
