Women's and Gender Studies Program

Using cross-cultural and multi-racial perspectives, the program includes exploration of:

• women's lives, labor and arts
• the politics of sexuality
• the structural, institutional, legal, and historical meanings of gender
• the history of gender roles and performances
• representations of women in different media
• the impact of gendered analysis on the sciences
• the gendered formation of knowledge

Georgetown College offers both a major and minor in Women's and Gender Studies, and the School for Foreign Service offers a certificate in Women's and Gender Studies (equivalent to a minor). The Women's and Gender Studies major is an option within the Interdisciplinary Studies Program.

Interested students should contact the Director, Dana Luciano, as early as possible in their sophomore year to plan a program of study.
