Gender and Sexuality Studies

Minor

The Minor in Gender Studies enables students to situate gender and sexuality in their historical and cultural contexts, explore the varieties of gendered and sexual experiences and identities, and investigate how these intersect with other sociocultural factors. Through a variety of interdisciplinary frameworks, students learn to understand and analyze gender and sexuality as theoretical concepts, as literary and cultural representations, and as lived experiences. The minor will help students see how the categories of gender and sexuality affect what we read and write, how we participate in social and political institutions, and how we live our own embodied experiences.
