Queer and trans issues stand at the forefront of modern feminist politics. Learn how intersectional dynamics play into the complex societal systems that keep inequality alive. Gender and Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary program that works to contest historical, ongoing and pervasive oppression based on gender, race, sexuality, class, ability and citizenship. Students can opt for an emphasis in Queer, Trans and Sexuality Studies, which focuses on the intersectionality of discrimination. The department, founded in 1975 and led by a renowned faculty, stands at the forefront of feminist research and curriculum, helping students build critical thinking, reading, writing and research skills. This Bachelor of Arts relies heavily on both collaborative engagement and independent study, and students are encouraged to get involved in community organizations.
