What is Gender and Women’s Studies?
Gender and Women’s Studies focuses on the study of gender as a central aspect of human existence. How does gender affect the conditions of our lives?

Interdisciplinary by nature, Gender and Women’s Studies incorporates disciplines such as sociology, economics, political science, anthropology, literature, psychology, and more.
