Feminist, Gender, & Sexuality Studies (BA)

About this programme

The Feminist, Gender, Sexuality Studies Program (FGSS) is an interdisciplinary program that investigates how gender and sexuality are embedded in cultural, social, and political formations. The study of feminism, gender relations, and sexuality urges attention to the complex structures of power and inequality, tracing intersections and relationships among sexuality, race, class, age, ethnicity, and other aspects of identity. Founded in 1972 as Women’s Studies, this program has been a home for innovative approaches to research in gender and sexuality studies, as well as a site for important theoretical and activist debates among feminists and cutting-edge research for scholars from across the humanities and social sciences.
