Gender Studies
Our Gender Studies program envisions a world where gender equity and social justice are not just ideals, but lived realities. We equip students with the tools to 1) analyze and challenge hierarchies of power and oppression, and 2) foster inclusive, equitable communities that value diverse perspectives and lived experiences. Rooted in the connection between theory and practice, our program encourages students to actively engage with these issues through social action projects, applied research, creative expression, internships, and community engaged learning.
Through this hands-on experience, students not only contribute to the common good, but also develop the knowledge, adaptability, and ethical leadership skills to excel in diverse workplaces. A Gender Studies minor fosters the critical thinking, cultural agility, and collaborative skills essential for success in today’s rapidly evolving professional landscape. Graduates of our program emerge as engaged scholars, thoughtful advocates, and transformative leaders committed to building a more just and inclusive world
