The Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program at San Jose State University, housed within the Department of Sociology and Interdisciplinary Social Sciences, focuses on global feminist perspectives through interdisciplinary research and education. The WGSS program examines how gender, identity, race, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, and nationality influence individual experiences. It highlights gender's crucial role within systems of power and societal organization. Participants develop analytical abilities, communication skills, collaborative approaches, cultural awareness, and tools for societal transformation rooted in feminist principles. The WGSS initiative bridges theoretical knowledge with practical application to foster equitable social progress.
