MA in Gender studies in Bloomington United States | Indiana University Bloomington

Our department ranks among the nation's top three Gender Studies programs. We immerse students in exploring gender as a core framework for social and cultural examination, analyzing how it intersects with other key identity markers like sexuality, race, religion, socioeconomic status, ability, and national origin. Our courses push students to move beyond superficial understandings of gender, instead investigating its intricate formation across different historical periods, cultural contexts, and global systems. Gender studies employs diverse, cutting-edge approaches and methods - expansive in scope but connected through a critical analytical lens.
