The Women's and Gender Studies
Certificate program provides students with specialized knowledge and training
in the field of Women's and Gender Studies. Students will have an opportunity
to acquire advanced training and expertise in feminist theory, feminist
methodology, and in fundamental issues in the field, such as issues of gender
inequality, difference, and the intersection of gender and other forms of
social identity and positioning. These include race, ethnicity, sexual
orientation, socioeconomic class, age, ability, religion, and nationality. The
program exposes students to new ways of thinking about women and gender that
interrogate and expand the processes by which knowledge about human beings is
acquired, interpreted, and transmitted. Students will have the opportunity to
research these new ways of thinking and to apply the knowledge acquired to
their personal and professional life. The program uses global feminist
perspectives, integrating theory and practice, and producing scholar-activists.
