Why Earn a Minor in Gender and Sexuality Studies?

A minor in Gender and Sexuality Studies offers students an understanding of gender- and sexuality-related issues throughout history and in modern times–from gender roles and stereotypes to the social organization and politicization of human sexuality. You will analyze how race, class, social-economic status, and other factors intersect with gender and sexuality and influence the ideas and practices that surround them.
