Welcome to the
Women & Gender Studies program!
This is an interdisciplinary program in the College of Arts & Sciences that takes an intersectional, transnational, feminist approach to the study of women and gender.
The curriculum investigates how gender, sex, and sexuality inform all kinds of practices that reproduce and resist hierarchies of power. It covers social, cultural, intellectual, and political terrain in the disciplines of English, History, Sociology, Political Science, and Criminal Justice/Criminology.
Courses examine how gender disparities connect with other identities such as race, ethnicity, class, age, religion, ability, nationality, immigrant status, and body size. Through a student-centered approach, faculty inspire students of all backgrounds to engage with local, national, and international communities in efforts to achieve social justice.
