About Gender Studies
Gender Studies helps you learn how gender shapes the world around us. In these classes, you’ll explore how ideas about gender affect people’s lives, from family and school to media and the workplace. You’ll also learn about identity, equality, and the history of movements for justice and rights.
This subject connects to many others, like history, politics, health, and culture. Gender Studies gives you tools to think clearly, ask questions, and understand different points of view. It’s a great choice if you care about fairness and want to make a difference in your community or future career.
