Women’s and Gender Studies

Return to: Academic Departments and Degrees

Women’s and Gender Studies focuses on issues of identity and systems of power, through reflection on personal, social and historical realities.

About the Program

Specifically, women’s and gender studies connects theory to self-awareness and social responsibility. Whereas historically, the voices of women and other minorities (including feminist men) have been muted, women’s and gender studies puts these voices at the center of the curriculum.
