BA in Women and Gender Studies in Nashville United States | Vanderbilt University

The Department of Gender and Sexuality Studies offers an interdisciplinary curriculum that examines the formation of gender and its intersections with other relations of power, such as sexuality, race, ability, class, nationality, religion, locality, and age. The department encourages students to develop new theoretical approaches and to transform the analytical tools of many fields of study. Our courses and instructors pay particular attention to how lives are impacted by systemic inequalities. The goal of our scholarship, teaching, and activism is to make gender and sexuality central rather than peripheral terms of analysis. Our curriculum trains students to recognize the problems and possibilities of our current world and also empowers them to effect change.
