Gender Studies and Feminist Research

Return to: Interdisciplinary

Candidates may be accepted for graduate work leading to an M.A. degree or a Graduate Diploma (Ph.D.) in Gender Studies and Feminist Research. Both programs are dedicated to furthering understandings of the importance of gender as a category of analysis in scholarly inquiry. Our work is interdisciplinary and draws together those who study women and gender issues from across campus and the larger community.

The following four themed areas provide a focus for the program: Literature, Culture, and the Arts; Ethics, Spirituality, and Eco-feminism; Work, Politics, Social Movements, and Public Policy; and Sexuality Studies.
