What is Women’s and Gender Studies?

Women’s and Gender Studies examines the contributions, perspectives, experiences, roles, and status of individuals within a historical and multicultural framework.

Challenging stereotypes, you will explore the ways gender, socioeconomic class, sexual identity, gender identity, nationality, race, ethnicity, and age shape experience.
