Student Learning Goals

The Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program of Wesleyan University enable students to engage in critical analyses of the construction of gender and sexuality as categories of analysis and experience within the broad matrices of race, class, and ethnicity, and the ways in which these categories inform knowledge production. Our curriculum has a broad offering of courses with wide subject, geographic, and thematic coverage. Majors have excellent opportunities for developing their own areas of concentrated study and for individually designed research. Our courses offer students historical and contemporary explorations of women, gender, and sexuality from a variety of disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives on Africa, the Caribbean, East Asia, Europe, Latin America, and South Asia, as well as the U.S.

FGSS expects its majors to:

become skilled at reading and writing critical feminisms;

have a well-developed understanding of the interdisciplinary, transnational and intersectional concerns of the field; and

interrogate the historical and contemporary, local and transnational forces underlying social and economic injustice and inequality in order to promote greater possibilities for freedom and social justice.

In other to achieve these goals, students should be able to:

form an argument using evidence

critically evaluate the arguments of others

analyze texts from a variety of disciplines

situate social and political issues in their historical context

assess how activism and intellectual inquiry are interrelated
