Women's and Gender Studies, Minor
School of Humanities and Social Sciences
Program Overview
As our society moves toward acknowledging the diversity of the world in which we live, your women’s and gender studies minor will focus on how definitions of power and value vary across a range of societal and historical contexts. Our interdisciplinary program gives you the flexibility to discover your own focus as you gain the skills to examine and critique cultural, economic, historical, political, and social issues using feminist and queer philosophical paradigms.
