Why pursue womens and gender studies at Brandeis University?
An education in women’s and gender studies offers students the opportunity to build global knowledge in fields across the creative arts, humanities, social and biological sciences. Our curriculum brings students into contact with the extensive research on women, gender, and feminism that has burgeoned during the past 30 years as well as with historical and cross-cultural knowledge that recognizes the intersections of gender with race, class, religion, sexuality, ethnicity, age, ability, and nationality. Our program draws an enthusiastic and diverse group of students who seek intellectual challenges and who are committed to social justice.
