Gender studies is an undergraduate
interdisciplinary program for students who wish to explore gender and sexuality
as social constructions that shape our thoughts, values, institutions, and
relationships. Connected to this study is an investigation of how other
social categories, especially race and class, affect our daily experiences.
Although gender studies often concentrates on women's lives and
contributions, it is not only for and about women. Gender studies
also analyzes how all of us exist within a complex web of privileges and
social inequalities and seeks to challenge those injustices.
