Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies (GSWS) is an interdisciplinary program that includes a wide variety of courses offered in arts and humanities and social sciences. Offering a critical perspective that places gender at the center of analysis, GSWS reexamines traditional beliefs, supports new  research methods, explores feminist theory, and enables students to better understand the societal positions and global processes affecting all genders throughout the world. GSWS courses probe the way cultures construct concepts of gender, introducing students to differences of class, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and life cycle in a range of societies. Students are encouraged to think about gender and racial stereotypes and to become aware of unexamined assumptions about sexual and gender differences.
