Gender and Women's Studies
Interdisciplinary Program Director: Jean Keller
The study of gender is an important element in
many academic fields including literature, communication, history,
art, philosophy, economics, political science, sociology, psychology,
theology and the natural sciences. The Gender and Women’s Studies
minor allows students and faculty to link the examination of gender
across these traditional academic disciplines.
The purpose of this minor is to provide an
inter- and multi-disciplinary frameworks within which to explore the
social construction of gender and sexuality. The minor incorporates a
variety of methodologies and theoretical approaches.
Students who complete the Gender and Women's
Studies minor will have worked with materials and methodologies from
several academic disciplines in order to gain an understanding of how
gender functions across cultures and in their own lives as it
intersects with race, class, ethnicity and sexuality.
