Overview

At Gender Studies from Mount Holyoke College majors are introduced to the foundations of the field in courses on women and gender, feminist theory, and methodology.

Drawing on courses offered across the Gender Studies Mount Holyoke College curriculum and in the Five Colleges, majors then explore topics such as women’s literary and artistic production; gender in imperial and postcolonial contexts; feminist antiracism; women’s health; women and labor; violence against women; feminist science studies; queer studies; men and masculinity; transgender politics; U.S. women of color politics; women immigrants and refugees; transnational feminisms.

A field-study seminar, taken in the junior or senior year; and a senior capstone course bring majors together to think through connections among the diverse intellectual and creative approaches they have encountered as well as between scholarship and social action. Our website provides guidance on selecting courses and all courses are also designed to contribute in various ways to the College’s Learning Goals.

Students at Gender Studies from Mount Holyoke College will:

understand the very nature of gender; its intersection with other forms of difference -- such as class, race, nation, sexuality -- and power; and its intimate connection with myriad forms of knowledge and social practice, from scientific investigation to artistic creation and performance.

understand feminist theories broadly conceived, their histories, their evolution, and their continued development overtime as both theory and praxis, including but not limited to Black feminisms, women of color feminisms, Latina(x) feminisms, and transnational feminisms.

understand the intersections of race, class, and gender; and be able to discern gendered relations of power in settings that do not at first glance appear to be related to gender.

develop and utilize multiple angles of vision -- interdisciplinary and cross-cultural, utilize methodologies that inform scholarship and social action, and become skilled at articulating arguments both orally and in writing.
