Why study Women’s & Gender Studies? A majority of occupations deal with women as clients, co- workers, students, making it important to gain a deeper insight into how both women’s and men’s lives are affected daily by gender, sexuality, race, class, ethnicity, and social justice. Women’s and Gender Studies offers students an interdisciplinary examination for women’s roles, contributions, history, and experiences as well as a critical study of gender structures in societies and cultures in the U.S. and the world. It uses gender, along with race and class as a category of analysis, helping students investigate the role gender plays in history, literature, art, politics, education, sports, health, and family.
