Gender studies is an undergraduate interdisciplinary program for students who wish to explore gender and sexuality as social constructions that shape our thoughts, values, institutions, and relationships. Connected to this study is an investigation of how other social categories, especially race and class, affect our daily experiences. Although gender studies often concentrates on women's lives and contributions, it is not only for and about women. Gender studies also analyzes how all of us exist within a complex web of privileges and social inequalities and seeks to challenge those injustices.
