| The Gender Studies Program
offers a minor in the interdisciplinary study
of contemporary and historical gender theory
and gender issues on a global level. The program
allows students to acquire depth of knowledge
in specific areas of gender-related focus and
gender theory, as well as a wide range of research
skills and methodologies from across the disciplines.
The program offers courses from nine departments
within the College of Arts and Sciences, as
well as service learning and community internship
opportunities. |
| Gender Studies deepens
students’ understanding of areas of study
such as historical/cultural constructions of
femininity and masculinity and their representations;
sexuality; feminist theory; GLBT studies; male and female physiology; gender
and health, business and politics; and others.
The Gender Studies Program encourages students
to become actively engaged in gender-focused
research and its practical applications, and
provides numerous opportunities for students
to interact with faculty members to discuss
their current research. |
