Women’s and Gender Studies Advising Guide

Introduction

Women’s & Gender Studies is an academic department that fosters innovative teaching and cutting-edge research by focusing on how relations of gender, intersecting with race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, nation and other differences, affect every aspect of society. With a core faculty of three professors and more than 15 contributing faculty, our department is truly interdisciplinary in its scope, breadth and depth. We offer courses that explore women’s and men’s historical lives and contemporary experiences around the world, cross-cultural analyses of gender, gendered economies around the world, women’s and men’s roles in religion, same-sex sexualities, and theories of gender, sexualities and intersectionality.
