The Program in Gender, Sexuality, & Women's Studies (GSWS) at Penn offers an undergraduate major, minor, and dual degree. It is an interdisciplinary program, offering many cross-listed courses. The graduate program offers a Graduate Certificate, which provides opportunities for graduate students to integrate their thinking about gender and sexuality using a variety of methodological approaches such as critical feminist, race, and legal theory; cultural studies; and French psychoanalytic theory, as well as traditional disciplinary methodologies. The affiliated faculty list includes members from over 20 departments in the humanities, social sciences, and professional schools. The program is inclusive, and its statement of purpose describes a program that is “committed to cultivating a learning environment that values and prioritizes inclusion, equity, and diversity through research, teaching, advocacy, activism, and community engagement.”
