Welcome to Women and Gender Studies
USUs Women and Gender Studies Program provides a broad base of study that includes in its scholarly analysis the intersecting issues of gender, age, race, ethnicity, class, regionalism, nationalism, and sexual identity as they affect women and men. Traditional disciplines are reexamined through the lens of gender, and thus, students are exposed to new scholarship on gender, expanding their understanding of the differential experiences between and within the genders.
As an interdisciplinary academic program, Women and Gender Studies is unique at Utah State University in bringing together women and men of all ethnicities and sexual identities to explore the many ways that gender influences our lives and worldviews. Courses focus on the role of gender in human culture, examining the dynamics of sex roles and gender ideals, both historically and in the present. WGS courses engage in the study of femininities and masculinities from many perspectives and disciplines, and the social forces that construct these gender identities. Students gain an understanding of the role of gender and its practical implications in their basic life experiences.
