Bachelor of Arts in Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies

Program Overview

This is an interdisciplinary program that takes an intersectional, transnational, feminist approach to the study of women, gender and sexuality. The program investigates how assumptions about gender and sexuality inform social, cultural and political practices that both reproduce and resist hierarchies of power. Courses examine the intersections of gender and sexuality with other significant categories and identities such as race, ethnicity, class, age, religion, ability, nationality, immigrant status and body size. Through a student-centered approach, faculty inspire students to engage with local, national and international communities to effect social justice. Students can earn a major or minor in women, gender and sexuality studies, or a minor in LGBTQ studies.

Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of the program, students will be able to:

  • Describe sex/gender systems in terms of intersecting structural and institutional constraints.
  • Explain how feminist theories of gender and sexuality relate to activism and social justice work.
  • Synthesize and communicate various approaches to the analysis of data, texts and perspectives concerning LGBTQ lives.
  • Analyze how assumptions about gender and sexuality inform social, cultural and political practices that both reproduce and resist hierarchies of power.
  • Identify women of diverse backgrounds who have shaped their societies in recognized and unrecognized ways, both locally and globally.
  • Critically analyze, interpret and integrate interdisciplinary and transnational source materials, and produce original scholarship in women, gender and sexuality studies.
