Its mission involves promoting thoughtful and innovative exploration of diverse academic viewpoints—historical, political, economic, cultural, technological, and scientific—that have shaped the study of women, gender, and sexuality. Through an interdisciplinary approach in both instruction and scholarship, the faculty aim to generate fresh insights into how gender, race, class, and sexuality function in society while providing students with versatile analytical and research tools.
