Bachelor of Arts in Gender and Sexualities Studies

Program Overview

The interdisciplinary gender and sexualities studies (INGS) major and minor promote a critical, feminist, intersectional and cultural understanding of gender, sexuality and power in a global context and across disciplinary boundaries. They can help you to better understand the world around you and provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to be a leader for justice and equity in your career as well as the rest of your life.

Students gain the knowledge and skills for understanding and recognizing: 

  • How gender has shaped the world around us and the ways we make sense of it; 
  • How gender and sexuality intersect with race, class, ethnicity, disability, religion, region and other societal markers; 
  • The diversity of gendered experiences, accomplishments and perspectives within the categories of woman, man, intersex, transgender, nonbinary, Two-Spirit and other categories throughout the gender spectrum; 
  • The various meanings and categories that different societies assign sex and sexuality in different historical eras and how they shape people’s lives; 
  • How sexism and heterosexism have operated in a dynamic with other systems of structural oppression, in both historical and contemporary contexts;
  • How to embrace gender and sexual diversity and work for justice.
