Women's and Gender Studies
Our Mission
The Women's and Gender Studies Program at Georgia Southern University is committed to fostering an understanding of the ways in which ideologies of gender and sexuality permeate the entire fabric of society.
As an interdisciplinary program promoting collaboration among diverse disciplines, students, faculty, and the community, the Women's and Gender Studies Program supports research, teaching, and outreach activities that analyze
- gender as an identity category
- the relationship between gender and other identity categories, including race, class, ethnicity, nationality, and sexuality; and
- historical and contemporary gender issues in local, regional, national, and cross-cultural contexts.
