Women’s Health Minor

Nora Berenstain, Department of Philosophy, Chair

Women, Gender, and Sexuality is a major dedicated to the study of how gender and sexuality shape the past, present, and future of human cultures and societies. Our interdisciplinary curriculum trains students in critical studies of the ways gender and sexuality intersect with race, ethnicity, nationality, dis/ability, and other dimensions of social inequality. Our courses provide students with a wide variety of methodological skills and perspectives with which to conduct their own research, creative activity, and activism.
