About this program

Overview of Women's & Gender Studies

The Women's & Gender Studies program at Denison University is an interdisciplinary field that examines the roles, experiences, and contributions of women and gender minorities throughout history and across cultures. This program provides students with a comprehensive understanding of gender as a fundamental aspect of identity, examining how it intersects with race, class, sexuality, and culture. Students engage in critical analysis of social constructs, power dynamics, and the impact of policies on different gender groups, preparing them for informed activism and advocacy.

Our program follows a typical structure that includes core courses in feminist theory, gender studies methodology, and intersectional analysis, along with elective courses that allow students to explore various topics such as queer studies, reproductive justice, global women's issues, and media representations of gender. Through a blend of classroom learning, research projects, and community engagement, students develop strong analytical and critical thinking skills.

By studying Women’s & Gender Studies in the U.S., students benefit from rich academic resources, diverse perspectives, and a supportive environment that fosters dialogue and innovation. The program encourages active participation in discussions and challenges students to develop their own voices in the field while learning from leading academics and practitioners.
