About this program

The Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program at Cedar Crest College offers a comprehensive exploration of the roles and representations of women, gender, and sexuality in society. This interdisciplinary program integrates history, sociology, psychology, and cultural studies to provide a multi-faceted understanding of how gender and sexuality shape our lived experiences. Students engage with various theoretical frameworks and methodologies to analyze texts, policies, and cultural practices.

Through a combination of core courses and electives, students delve into topics such as feminist theory, gender politics, sexuality studies, and intersectionality. The curriculum is designed to foster critical thinking, encourage intersectional perspectives, and explore global contexts, providing students with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills. This well-rounded approach prepares graduates to engage thoughtfully and critically with social issues related to gender and sexuality.

Students gain essential skills in research, writing, and analysis, as well as the ability to articulate and advocate for gender equity and social justice. The program emphasizes experiential learning through community engagement, internships, and research projects, allowing students to apply their knowledge in real-world settings. Studying in the US, particularly at Cedar Crest College, provides unique access to diverse perspectives and a vibrant academic community focused on progressive social change.
