Overview

Students of this Women's and Gender Studies programme offered by William Paterson University of New Jersey develop conceptual, analytical, and critical thinking skills and opportunities for experiential learning for the study of gendered lives and experiences.

Key Facts

They engage in feminist analyses that focuses on the centrality of gender relations, emergence and reproduction of sexism and patriarchy, production of feminist knowledge and theories, women's movements, and feminist methods of doing research. Students use an intersectional framework for the analysis of gender, race, class and sexuality (concepts), racism, sexism, homophobia/heterosexism (processes), and the organization of these processes in social institutions.

They learn a social justice approach to issues of systemic oppression, resistance, change, and activism locally and globally, gaining professional skills through in-class activities and civic engagement.
