Women's, Gender & Sexuality Studies Research
Two areas of focus shape Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies curriculum and course offerings as well as reflecting faculty research strengths:
- Sexuality
- Gender and Development
These areas of strength are reflected in the requirements for the major and undergraduate and graduate certificate programs. Faculty strength in gender and development also is a critical curricular component of graduate work in international studies and communication and development as well as contributing to graduate programs in the College of Arts & Sciences.
