Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies Major

The Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies major examines gender and sexuality as cultural and social categories that organize and shape human experience. The GWSS major draws its course offerings from disciplines that span the campus to provide students with a foundation for thinking comprehensively about categories of social difference as well as the various cultural and legal institutions that produce and sustain dynamics of power and oppression within them. These courses deepen your knowledge about gender and sexuality and equip you to advance equity across industries, from public health care to education.
