Join our Women's and Gender Studies Program!

The Women's and Gender Studies Program at Boston College is an interdisciplinary minor for undergraduate students that richly explores feminist and gender theories in relation to the political, cultural, and socioeconomic forces shaping our world. Through a global and transnational perspective, the program investigates the dynamic interplay between gender and other factors affecting our personal and communal identities, including race, class, culture, religion, sexuality, and location.
