The Women’s and Gender Studies program provides an interdisciplinary meeting ground for exploring questions about women, gender and sexuality that are transforming knowledge across disciplinary lines in the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities. The program explores the intersections of gender with class, sexuality, ethnicity and race as central to social and cultural analysis.
