Overview

Program Description

The Gender and Sexuality Studies program at the University of California, Riverside integrates interdisciplinary and transnational approaches to the theorizing and study of gender and sexuality. We also offer a range of courses that facilitate student learning about the diversity of genders and sexualities in the United States and globally.

If you choose to major in gender and sexuality studies, you will:

learn about the history and contemporary structures of cisheteropatriarchy and white supremacy and engage with strategies for resistance

be exposed to a wide range of feminist theories and epistemologies through required core courses and electives

learn how to be a global citizen, well prepared for future feminist and queer activism

prepare for graduate-level study in gender and sexuality studies and/or for a career in education, law, nonprofit work, public policy, social justice, social work, health care, and related fields

We also encourage our students to intern with local feminist and/or queer social justice organizations and learn through study abroad to enrich and enhance their undergraduate experience.
