Women\u2019s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies is an interdisciplinary program that prepares students to think critically and creatively by exploring gender and sexuality in global contexts. Through coursework offered across the humanities, social sciences, and sciences, students build their understanding of how gender organizes institutions, practices, and social behavior; explore the diversity of gender and sexual identities and how those intersect with other forms of identity such as race and class; engage transnational and global perspectives on gender and sexuality; and build critical thinking and research skills. The program prepares students for a variety of professional pathways, including public policy, social work, the nonprofit sector, and social justice, as well as providing preparation for graduate study.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The program offers both a Bachelor of Arts and a Minor in Women\u2019s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Majors and minors build their program of study in close consultation with their faculty advisor. A course of study in WGST can easily be combined with other majors and minors. For further information, please reach out to the program directors, Professor Megan Jewell at msj18@case.edu<\/a> and Professor Ananya Dasgupta at axd411@case.edu<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In the United States today, we have government decrees that there are only two sexes, debates about \u201ctrad wives\u201d and polyamory, and frequent references to the nation\u2019s \u201cpuritan\u201d past. But in her latest book\u2014and in this talk\u2014Professor Rebecca L. Davis argues that seventeenth-century Puritans are a weak precedent for how the history of sexuality has unfolded in the United States. Into the 1800s, the United States was far more welcoming of gender nonconformity and same-sex\/queer desires than we might presume.
