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 and queer theories, 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 and sexuality, introducing students to differences of class, race, ethnicity, and life cycle in a range of societies. Students are encouraged to become aware of intersectionality and unexamined assumptions about sexual and gender differences.
