Our Gender and Women's Studies program is interdisciplinary and draws from fine arts, humanities and the social and natural sciences. Issues pertaining to gender may encompass sexual identity, orientation, social practice, and historical change. Courses may consider how biology intersects with culture, how gender creates and maintains structures of power, and how gendered identity affects the understanding of personhood. The purpose of such exploration is to expand curricular possibilities that enable students to comprehend more fully the complex factors that shape their experiences of themselves, others, and the world.
