Women and Gender Studies (Minor)
About the Program
Women and Gender Studies is an interdisciplinary field that examines the experiences of women, as well as the many ways that gender, sex, and sexuality impact people’s lives. Women and Gender Studies examines a range of issues including: how gender currently and historically has affected women and men’s life events, social and political power, and experiences in sociocultural institutions; the portrayal of women and men in art, literature, and media; sociocultural and biological influences on gender development; how gender influences thought and behavior; how gender intersects with other forms of diversity, such as race, class, and culture; the nature of sexuality; and feminist theory and scholarship.
