Gender, Race, and Sexuality Studies Minor (15 credits)
The Gender, Race, and Sexualities Studies minor introduces an interdisciplinary, intersectional, and transnational understanding of gendered and racialized experiences. It examines how women’s, men’s, non-binary, and trans experiences are locally and globally constituted at the intersection of race, class, sexuality, ethnicity, nationality, religion, (dis)ability, and other forms of differences. This interdisciplinary minor incorporates a diverse range of courses in the areas of sociology, history, literature, psychology, anthropology, political science, and other fields of study.
The specialization bridges the gap between theory and activism by connecting historical and contemporary feminist and critical race theories with local, regional, and transnational feminist and anti-racist organizing. It trains students for advanced graduate studies as well as social-justice oriented non-profit, government, and international professions and transformative activism.
