Courses delve into how these factors intersect with other key identities like race, ethnicity, class, age, religion, ability, nationality, immigrant status, and body size.

With a student-centered approach, the program encourages engagement with communities on local, national, and international levels to promote social justice. Students can pursue a major or minor in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, or a minor in LGBTQ Studies. 🌟📖
