Laurea in Studi sulle Donne e sul Genere

State University of New York (SUNY) Oneonta’s Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS) major is an interdisciplinary program that takes gender and sexuality as defining human experience categories. Intersectional in its approach, WGS recognizes that gender and gender inequality cannot be understood separately from race, sexuality, ethnicity, nationality, class, ability, and other markers of social power and difference. The undergraduate major grew out of our WGS minor, founded in 1972, and is one of the state's most senior WGS programs.

Using methodologies from the social sciences, natural sciences, and humanities, our courses equip students with the critical tools to understand cultural, social, and historical constructions of gender and sexuality. You will take core courses in feminist theories and research methodologies and choose from a wide range of electives. In addition to examining ideas about femininity and masculinity across diverse historical periods and cultural contexts, the curriculum highlights the lenses offered by gay, lesbian, queer, and transgender perspectives.
