The women's and gender studies (WGS) program is an interdisciplinary field that examines topics surrounding women, gender identity, and sexuality. This curriculum enables students to explore women's historical and modern achievements while investigating how gender is portrayed across disciplines like arts, literature, psychology, and social sciences. The program encourages critical analysis of traditional academic perspectives on gender, using both scholarly research and personal reflection. Participants also investigate evolving cultural concepts of gender roles, societal structures, and sexual identity throughout different eras and societies.
