Kingfisher Concentration - Gender and Sexuality Studies requirements (9 Credits)
Program Director: Sherianne Schuler, Ph.D.
Program Office: Hitchcock Room 308C
The Gender and Sexuality Studies Kingfisher Concentration combines two interdisciplinary fields to introduce students to a social, cultural, and historical overview of how gender has been lived and understood. The first field, Gender Studies, explores social constructions of gender and how those meanings intersect with sexuality, race, ethnicity, social class, disability, and age. The second field, Sexuality Studies, invites us to think about both biology and society in dialogue as the human person and self is constructed. Both fields grew out of the inquires initiated by Women’s Studies, but both complicate the early questions posed by that line of inquiry.
This Kingfisher Concentration has an associated minor that allows for continued study of these topics: Gender and Sexuality Studies Minor
