Women's and gender studies is an undergraduate interdisciplinary minor for students who wish to explore gender as a social construction that shapes our thoughts, values, accomplishments, and relationships. Connected to this is the study of how other social categories--especially disability, sexual orientation, race, and social class--affect our reality. In other words, women's and gender studies is not only for and about women. Though it often concentrates on women's lives and contributions, it also examines and analyzes how we all exist within a complex web of social inequalities and privileges.
