Program Overview

Women s and Gender Studies (WGS) is an interdisciplinary field that explores the experiences of women and the many ways that gender works throughout everyone s lives. Gender shapes our identities, how we are perceived socially and our opportunities in life. At Northeastern Illinois University, we approach our studies through intersections of feminist, anti-racist, multicultural, global and ecological perspectives. We examine how power is distributed and used along the intersections of race, class, gender, geography, age, abilities and sexualities.
