As activists, researchers, or workers, women have driven transformative societal shifts. The Women & Gender Studies program enables you to understand these transformations while equipping you to help build an equitable society. Through feminist frameworks and investigative approaches, this field analyzes both past and present societal dynamics affecting all genders. Our department collaborates with engaged academics and advocates across campus and beyond to address diverse topics.
Students in this program will deepen their understanding of women's lived experiences, physical autonomy, work contributions, and intellectual achievements. The curriculum also investigates feminism's global impact as a powerful sociopolitical force that has reshaped everyday realities for people of all genders.
We invite students from all disciplines to take women and gender studies courses, gaining valuable insights relevant to their academic pursuits. These classes foster comprehensive awareness of how gender, race, ethnicity, class, age, ability, and sexuality have shaped—and continue to shape—historical developments, cultural concepts, and social systems.
