The Women's Studies minor prepares students to gain awareness of women's issues, and to understand how social constructions of gender and sexuality affect daily experience, broader social structures, institutions, social relations, and cultural and aesthetic production. Its approach examines gender across divisions of race, class, sexuality, age, and nationality. The program seeks to provide students and the university community with educational frameworks and strategies for intellectual and personal growth, positive social change, and political awareness that informs active participation in public affairs.
