Why Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies at Lehigh?
Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) offers the best aspects of a liberal arts education: critical engagement, analytical thinking, interdisciplinary training, and invaluable opportunities to hone the utility of close and careful writing skills. Students will encounter robust and expansive opportunities to think about the complex ways in which gender and sexuality impact and are shaped by race, class and mechanisms of power and the significance of these things on society and human lives within it. Offering a major, minor, and graduate certificate, WGSS is committed to an intersectional model of analysis and ensures that students learn about the significance of diversity and difference in culture and society.
