The UC San Diego Critical Gender Studies Program (CGS) is an interdisciplinary initiative that enables students to examine gender, race, class, sexuality, and nationalism as interconnected frameworks for analysis and lived experience. Foundational inquiries in the program explore how these social constructs become formalized yet evolve historically, how they interact to influence personal identity, structure societal systems, and play pivotal roles in generating diverse forms of knowledge about human existence. Through the critical gender studies honors track, upper-level majors can develop independent research while engaging in collaborative academic discourse with fellow students and faculty mentors.
