Programme overview

A global approach to gender and sexuality, our Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program challenges inequity through cross-disciplinary, intersectional scholarship. Our program is known for its innovative approach, which bridges the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences through the study of topics relating to gender, race, sexuality, ethnicity, and nationality. As a student, you will analyze feminist theory and cross-cultural perspectives, examine historical trends and religious practices, explore policy and power structures, and develop theories and methods for challenging inequality and re-imagining social justice.
