Overview

Students of the Women and Gender Studies program at the University of Colorado at Boulder explore the ways that gender and sexuality work in diverse communities and in different cultural and historical contexts. Drawing from approximately 50 courses, many cross-listed with other academic units, students fulfill the requirements of the major or minor and can design an emphasis relevant to their interests by focusing on one of three cognate areas: 1) gender/sexuality, 2) race/ethnicity and 3) global/transnational.

Knowledge

Students will be able to:

Analyze how power and privilege function at the intersection of gender, sexuality, race, class, ability, nationality and colonialism.
Think critically about the historical and global variability of social norms of gender and sexuality.

Identify the varying forms of feminism across the globe, and the relationships between feminism and other movements for social justice.

Practical Skills

Students completing their degree with the Department of Women and Gender Studies are expected to acquire the ability and skills to:

Analyze a range of social events, structures and movements using intersectional and decolonial feminist theories.
Communicate complex ideas from the field of women and gender studies to academic and general audiences.
Work collaboratively to implement and organize around a range of theoretical and methodological perspectives used in women, gender, and sexuality studies.
