Department of Gender Studies
In addition to the many ways in which the social construction of gender, sex and race are included in the other areas of specialization, many of our courses and our faculty research projects focus on how each are produced out of power relations. Research and teaching related to these preoccupations include postcolonial studies; multiculturalism; diaspora and migration studies; critical race theory; orientalism and gender; studies of the social construction of whiteness and of masculinity. Further, faculty consider the intersection of gender and sexuality, especially as it relates to feminist theory, queer theory and gay rights activism.
