Women's and Gender Studies, Graduate Certificate
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.
