A department that intersects with several different academic disciplines, the Women, Gender, & Sexuality Studies program is an inter- and multi- disciplinary program that employs critical feminist theories and methodologies to foster transformative understanding of the intersections of gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, and class among other socially defined identities. Using gender as a central analytic, we examine and question systems of power, inequality, and injustice and their role in shaping lived experiences of persons, locally, nationally, globally.
The Department of Women, Gender, & Sexuality Studies offers stand-alone and cross-listed courses taught by faculty trained in feminist scholarship and pedagogy from sociology and religious studies, to English and history, to political science and biology. Together, faculty and students strive to create a community of learners and share responsibility for the educational experience. Many courses use projects that invite students to put their knowledge to practical use solving problems, promoting social justice, lifting up the poor and vulnerable or otherwise serving the common good.
