About Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies
Women, gender, and sexuality studies at the University of St. Thomas is an integrative program closely examining and critically analyzing gender and sexuality in our society. We bring together different disciplines to make sense of the social forces and assumptions shaping the lives of women and sexual minority individuals.
We provide you with the tools to understand and work toward gender equality, ultimately advancing the common good and respecting the dignity of every human. You will complete courses focusing on topics ranging from how communication impacts race, class and gender to a critical history of women in literature.
You will have the opportunity to partner with faculty on research and engage with community partners. For example, you can work with the Women's Environmental Institute to explore how environmental issues are actually women and gender issues.
