Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Minor

The Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies minor provides a multidisciplinary exploration of gender and sexuality as they intersect with race, ethnicity, class, culture, nation, and ability. The curriculum incorporates a social activism component, and students are encouraged to consider the ways knowledge and activist engagements help promote social justice in local and global communities. We also offer an undergraduate minor in Queer Studies.
