Overview

Students in the Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies multidisciplinary program at College of the Holy Cross pursue critical questions from a range of academic disciplines and learn how activism can promote social change. We challenge students to consider how complex social identities such as race, social class, age, and ability intersect with gender and sexuality to shape the world in ways that are all at once personal, political, local, and global. Our concentration is an appropriate supplement to any academic major.

The program affirms the commitment among its students and faculty to promote social justice and deconstruct assumptions about gender and sexuality that reproduce inequality.

Guiding Intellectual Principles

We respect the intrinsic dignity of all people.
We honor our history in Women’s Studies and indebtedness to feminist methods and theories.
We embrace diverse pedagogical approaches that deconstruct binaries and bring marginalized experiences and perspectives to the center of inquiry and analysis.
We commit to shared exploration and investigation of interdisciplinarity, intersectionality, and transnationality.
We interrogate power at personal, interpersonal, social, and structural levels.
We engage in pluralistic dialogue and collaborative decision making that is respectful of difference.
