Program Profile
- In our teaching, learning, research, and activism, we are committed to understanding how women, men and children are politically positioned in their various social contexts. Both programs take up gender as a category of advanced analysis in its intersections with race, ethnicity, class, ability/disability, age, sexuality and other categories of social difference.
- Our work is interdisciplinary and we draw together those who study women and gender issues from across campus and our larger community. The Gender Studies and Feminist Research program, together with the Interdisciplinary Minor in Women’s and Gender Studies, are a focal point for the University’s commitment to building an inclusive community.
