MA Interdisciplinary Studies in Women and Gender Studies

Dedicated to the merging of research, teaching, and activism, the Women and Gender Studies (WGST) concentration is extraordinary in two respects. First, our commitment to a multidisciplinary pedagogy ensures that you’ll have the opportunity to explore courses throughout the university that advance your intellectual and professional goals. Second, we are a community. Here, students, faculty and staff find a welcoming home that supports their work and personal development, both inside and outside the classroom. Our students take required coursework in feminist and queer theory, critical race theory, and transnational and global feminisms. Elective course offerings in WGST include African American women’s history, disability studies, gender and health, human rights, immigration, sexuality and globalization, black psychology, and ecofeminism.
