Introduction

Women and Gender Studies provides an interdisciplinary and culturally inclusive approach to gender that critiques, interrogates and expands the parameters of traditional disciplines.

Students in the Undergraduate Program in Women and Gender Studies (UWGS) have access to a wide range of courses in a rapidly developing, intellectually challenging field. The program offers integrated, interdisciplinary courses that reflect the cutting-edge research of our core and cross-listed faculty as well as the most current national and international Women and Gender Studies scholarship.

Students are also offered a wide range of support services through annual events such as the career workshop, the one-day student workshop, the International Women’s Day celebration, and community and research seminars which are designed for students who will be working in fields related to Women and Gender Studies.

The Undergraduate Program in Women and Gender Studies seeks to inform and transform traditional forms of knowledge and provides a physical and intellectual space to conduct anti-racist feminist scholarship.
