Welcome to Women's and Gender Studies
The Women’s and Gender Studies Program at Wake Forest University offers all students rigorous academic courses that examine and question cultural, biological, political, and social constructions of femininity and masculinity. Our program is interdisciplinary in content and approach. Whether you enroll in a course that explores women’s history, women’s literature, or women’s issues, or a class devoted to the sociology or politics of gender, masculinities studies, or gay and lesbian studies, you will find yourself in the company of teachers and learners who encourage critical thinking and dialogue, and who validate complex and diverse perspectives. Committed to active involvement in the community, we have developed a strong internship program that allows students to translate their knowledge into practice.
