University programs in Women's and Gender Studies

Women’s and Gender Studies programs explore how gender, sexuality, and identity shape individual experiences and society. They analyze history, culture, politics, and social norms to understand issues like equality, representation, and social justice. The program encourages critical thinking about power dynamics and aims to promote inclusive perspectives. Students learn to recognize and challenge discrimination and inequality, gaining insight into diverse identities and experiences. This interdisciplinary field prepares graduates for careers in advocacy, education, policy, social services, and other areas that benefit from a nuanced understanding of gender and social issues.
