What is Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies?
Women, Gender, & Sexuality Studies recognize that gender and sexuality intersect with other categories of identity and experience that include race, ethnicity, nation, social class, ability, and age, and place this knowledge at the center of academic study.
Our courses examine a wide range of topics from multidisciplinary perspectives.We encourage community involvement and activism, and our majors, minors, and graduate students complete internships with social change agencies and organizations.
Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies also practices feminist pedagogy in the classroom and feminist ethics in our dealings with students and others outside the classroom.
Our classes are student-centered and discussion-oriented. Our goal is to help students develop critical thinking skills that they can apply in broader contexts. We encourage community involvement and activism, and our majors and graduate students complete internships in social change agencies.
