About the Department
front_img

is an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary department that provides the unique opportunity to study culture and society from multiple intersecting perspectives that would not be possible within any single discipline. Our faculty use innovative interdisciplinary approaches derived from their research for explaining the complexities of gender relations that influence students’ own lives and structure every aspect of the world around them. We offer elective courses in the Gender Studies department as well as many courses cross-listed in other departments, providing our majors with the opportunity to select from a wide range of interdisciplinary and disciplinary offerings. Our students emerge from the program with a deeper knowledge of human behavior and social relations, the ability to conduct themselves effectively in diverse workplaces, and the skills and training for pursuing a wide range of careers.Read more...
