Licenciatura en Estudios de Mujeres y Género

The program in women’s and gender studies at The University of Tulsa considers how gender and other intersecting factors, such as race, class, culture, sexuality, and age, have worked to shape people's life experiences from diverse backgrounds. The program analyzes the contemporary and historical factors that underlie diverse individuals' current statuses from all parts of the world and explores the various means by which people have sought to achieve equality.

The program’s dual emphases on interdisciplinary and intersectionality offer students analytical frameworks and methodological tools to understand people’s life experiences, interactions, and economic and social institutions. Courses promote awareness and knowledge of status-based oppression, people’s interrelationships, and how civil rights movements throughout history have struggled for equity. The program seeks to change the attitudes and practices that either silence people’s voices or work to devalue, marginalize, or subordinate certain people’s choices and life experiences. The Bachelor of Arts degree is offered in this area.

The University of Tulsa is a private, independent, doctoral-degree-granting institution whose mission reflects these core values: excellence in scholarship, dedication to free inquiry, the integrity of character, and commitment to humanity. The university achieves its mission by educating men and women of diverse backgrounds and cultures.

By 2022 The University of Tulsa will create a premier living laboratory where students and faculty together address local and global challenges to advance knowledge and cultivate a just, humane, and rewarding future for all people.
