Gender, Sexuality and Gender, Sexuality and Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary program that explores knowledge about women's lives and experiences both historically and in contemporary societies. Gender, Sexuality and Women's Studies courses analyze the contributions and importance of women in the development of human societies and bodies of knowledge, and challenge the errors of omission in traditional disciplines. Gender, Sexuality and Women's Studies combines an emphasis on intellectual development with practical knowledge that prepares students to use their education to lead effective lives in the world. We define education broadly, to include coursework, internships, and service learning, as well as preparation for further education.
