Interdisciplinary Studies (BS): Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies Concentration
To see more about what you will learn in this program, visit the Learning Outcomes website!
The Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies curriculum is designed to lead students to analyze and reinterpret existing data and common assumptions about gender and gender identity from a multidisciplinary perspective. This approach foregrounds the complex relationships between gender, class, ethnic and racial structures; acquaints students with the often unacknowledged contributions made by women in the humanities and sciences, and grounds students in feminist theories and methodological perspectives. The aim of this program it to recognize the substantial contributions of feminist theories to social and public policy analysis.
