Overview

Course overview

WGS’s core faculty represent a range of disciplines across the humanities and social sciences. They have conducted research on women, gender, and sexualities in many areas of the world, including India, Iran, South Africa, and the United States, and they bring that expertise with them into the classroom. Aside from regular classroom and advising activities, faculty members meet with majors and minors at lectures in the program’s colloquium series and at other sponsored events.

Topics in the Women, Gender and Sexuality program at University of Virginia range from women’s political participation to body politics to lesbian/gay parenting and transgender concerns. Courses currently being offered focus on women's media, literature, and art, women in sports, queer theory, and gender politics. Students gain credit toward a major or minor by registering for WGS prefix courses as well as designated courses across departments, programs, and schools.

Due to the interdisciplinary nature of the program, many of the students are double majors. We also encourage non-majors and minors to explore the variety of courses we offer.
