Gender, Women and Sexuality Studies MinorGender, Women and Sexuality
College of Liberal Arts
Gender, women, and sexuality studies offers an interdisciplinary curriculum that looks at issues of gender and sexuality in the United States and around the world, taking into account the intersections and interrelations of generation, economic status, race, geographic location, and other social and historical variables. Gender, women, and sexuality studies also seeks to transform traditional fields of study by incorporating new data, methods, theories, and frameworks developed by feminist scholars.
