A renewed focus on gender issues is emerging, reflected in cultural movements like #MeToo and discussions around political representation, gender-based violence, transgender rights, and extremism. Gender Studies provides applicable expertise for diverse professional fields.
This program examines gender's historical context, theoretical frameworks, and lived realities—particularly how it intersects with race, class, and sexual identity. Students analyze gender norms in daily life, cultural artifacts, and social structures while exploring historical influences on modern gender dynamics and contrasting perspectives on sexuality and identity throughout history.
