Women’s and Gender Studies
The Women’s and Gender Studies Program introduces students to an array of women’s lived realities, perspectives, and knowledges and focuses on gender as a critical category of analysis. Our interdisciplinary curriculum emphasizes race, class, gender, sexuality, culture, ethnicity, nationality, age, and ability as intersecting lenses through which to see, understand, and examine the everyday world around us.
In addition to a well-rounded academic course of study, the program supports a robust schedule of lectures, discussions, panels, screenings, and workshops throughout the year. We also encourage student engagement and involvement in local women- and gender-centered community organizations with whom we have long-standing relationships and partnerships.
