BA Women s & Gender Studies Concentration

The women's and gender studies concentration is a multidisciplinary program that focuses on the analysis of gender as a category, with attention to the social construction of gender identity and gender relations and the intersection of gender with other categories, including race, class, and sexuality. The women's and gender studies program values student engagement with feminist discourses and practices and seeks to help students understand representations and realities of gender in multicultural and global contexts. The concentration is not a major but complements many majors and career goals.
