Women’s Studies is the critical study of gender. By uncovering ways in which social and cultural assumptions and structures are shaped by gender, students are encouraged to see how the identity “women” is enmeshed in a matrix that includes race, class, ability, sexuality, sexual and gender identity, age, and nationality and ethnicity. The program encourages a critical perspective and teaches highly developed research and analytical skills while challenging students personally and politically.
