Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSX) is the cross-disciplinary study of, and investigation into, the social constructions of gender and the ways in which gender and sexuality impacts the lives for which we strive.

The WGSX curriculum critically examines the place of women, gender, and sexuality in culture and society. Feminist, gender, and queer theory is applied to traditional disciplines to analyze the origins and effects of power, dominance, gender, and sexuality. Since women’s issues and gender issues encompass and modify all areas of knowledge, and since such issues as race, class, ability, and sexuality are crucial aspects of such experiences, the program is interdisciplinary and multi-cultural.
