Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies Program

Women, Gender, and Sexuality (WGSX) is a cross-disciplinary area of study that is committed to the study of women, gender, and sexuality as foundational categories of analysis, both in theory and practice.

WGSX courses enable students to study women’s history, material realities, and achievements; to investigate how gender and sexuality are represented in visual and written texts; and to examine feminist and queer critiques of both society as well as academic areas of knowledge.

The WGSX Program encourages students and faculty to make connections between academic knowledge and experience outside the classroom through activism, sponsored lectures and workshops, and community events.
