Description
The Gender and Cultural Studies (GCS) program examines intersecting systems of power and privilege and the ways in which race, ethnicity, nationality, class, ability, gender, sexuality, and sexual orientation are constructed within the United States and in international contexts. The interdisciplinary nature of the GCS program allows students to pursue more specialized courses of study by providing access to courses from a range of disciplines, including Africana Studies, Communications, Asian Studies, Economics, Literature and Writing, History, Modern Languages, Philosophy, Political Science, Public Policy, Social Work, Sociology, and Women’s and Gender Studies.
