Overview

About Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies at University of Louisville

It helps students to develop theoretical, empirical, and methodological perspectives for studying gender as a crucial category for understanding the world. We offer extremely flexible scheduling for our majors: we have three core courses, offered regularly; students are allowed a fair amount of control in selecting the classes that will be most helpful to them in their chosen career path to complete the remainder of their requirements. Our students are required to engage in service learning opportunities outside the university, giving them useful career experience. Students in our program also find it easy to double major, if they so desire.

WGST majors learn to:

Apply gender analytics at the micro and macro level for research and practices of social change;

Examine complex social problems using gender–informed analysis, research and design;

Identify how social, cultural and scientific knowledges are produced by institutions such as academic disciplines, media, arts, and politics;

Understand how gender intersects with other structures of power such as race, class, sexuality, disability and other structures of power in the U.S. and globally;
