Gender, Sexuality & Women’s Studies Minor

The Gender Studies minor offers students an interdisciplinary approach to examining the cultural and historical role of women, gender and sexuality in society. With an emphasis on critical thinking and writing, students will explore the meaning and importance of gender construction and reproduction within structures of inequity and power. Classes will consider these complex issues along with issues of intersectionality examining how categories of identity (e.g. sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, age, ability, nationality, religion, etc…) interact with gender.
