Department for Gender and Sexuality Studies

The Department of Gender and Sexuality Studies is an interdisciplinary department that encourages the development of critical perspectives in both intellectual and activist contexts. Gender and Sexuality Studies teaches students to re-examine traditional beliefs and to recognize that gender, race, class, ethnicity, age, sexuality, and nationality are crucial aspects of identity and can be understood primarily in their intersections. The department offers a Major, a Minor, an Honors track, and a Graduate Certificate.
