The add-on Graduate Certificate in Women, Gender, and Sexuality (WGS) offers graduate students the opportunity to study from an interdisciplinary perspective how gender and sexuality shape the past, present, and future of human cultures and societies. This interdisciplinary curriculum trains students in critical studies of the ways in which gender and sexuality intersect with race, ethnicity, nationality, ability, and other dimensions of difference.
The WGS program is dedicated to welcoming all members of our academic community and to studying issues pertinent to individuals of all gender and sexual identities. Our courses provide students with intersectional perspectives and a wide variety of methodological skills with which to conduct their own research, creative activity, and activism.
