Gender and Women's Studies

What type of student comes to Gender and Women's Studies?

You enjoy being passionately engaged with your studies and your world - as intellectuals, activists, artists, and writers who will apply your knowledge of gender in your work, families and communities, intelligently and creatively, for your entire lives.

When you get to us, you find that we combine a set of core courses - to take you from the basics of transnational feminism to advanced understanding and application of transnational feminist theory, methodology and practice - with a range of interdisciplinary electives that allow you to shape your major according to your particular interests and talents.

This department follows ideas, movements, and bodies across all kinds of disciplinary and political boundaries to arrive at the new syntheses and insights that are necessary for creating local and global communities of justice, sustainability and peace in the 21st century. What could be more important or exciting than that!
