Mission
The Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program at Ohio University examines gender and sexuality and their intersection with race, ethnicity, nationality, class, disability, and other elements of diversity. The WGSS curriculum introduces students to a wide range of theoretical and practical perspectives on the influence and meaning of gender in the human experience across time and cultures. The program promotes interdisciplinary teaching and research about gender and sexuality across myriad social and cultural contexts; it builds ties among scholars, providing a locus of feminist and queer scholarship and activism on campus, in the community, and beyond.
Programs
The Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program offers a Bachelor of Arts degree, an Honors Program, an undergraduate certificate, and a graduate certificate. In addition, it offers a wide variety of individual courses, many of which focus on global feminism and sexuality studies. The undergraduate offerings are:
