Overview

Uncover underrepresented voices and engage with diverse people and ideas when you major in gender, women & sexuality studies (GWS).

Key Features

With the Gender and Women's Studies programme at Widener University, you'll study historical and contemporary gender dynamics across a wide range of cultural, political, and social contexts, identifying and challenging injustices as you go. GWS faculty come from a wide range of disciplines across the university, so you'll be sure to find a mentor who shares your unique gender studies interests.
From international perspectives to intersectional examinations of gender with race and class identities, you'll constantly be learning about yourself as you grow in your understanding of others.
Want to propose a research project examining materials in the sexualities archives, take on an internship at a nonprofit, study abroad, or volunteer at a local community event? The GWS major is as hands-on and flexible as it is supportive. No matter what your future holds, a gender studies major will help you imagine and create sustainable social change for your future clients, patients, or community.
