Gender Studies Minor
The Gender Studies minor is designed to help students understand the ways in which sexual politics shape social experience.
Explore the ways our gender identities are:
- constituted
- compelled
- constrained by cultural dynamics, and
- how those identities are modified and contested
Discover how gender intersects issues of:
- nation
- culture
- religion
- sexuality
- class, and
- race
As scholarship has grown over the last thirty years, theoretical explorations of gender have developed into powerful tools that offer solutions to fundamental inequalities in cultures around the world.
Gender Studies students benefit from an interdisciplinary, critical-thinking approach to issues, from the personal to the global.
The program is committed to:
- multicultural perspectives
- participatory
- collaborative pedagogies, and
- creative thought.
