MA Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies

Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies offers an interdisciplinary and integrative program of study leading to the Doctor of Philosophy degree. Students will be expected to: develop a thorough grounding in women, gender, and sexuality studies scholarship; acquire an understanding of gender, race, and sexuality as categories of analysis; analyze and assess theories about the role of gender in systems of hierarchy and its intersection with other categories of difference, such as race, ethnicity, religion, class, sexuality, disability, location, and age; develop competence in feminist, queer, and critical race theories, research methods, and pedagogy, including transnational and global issues; and achieve competence in a selected area of specialization.
