Department Overview: Gender and Women’s Studies at WWCC provides critical thinking and writing skills and an understanding of the contributions of diverse groups that have traditionally been outside the ideals of dominant American culture, specifically people of various genders, races, body types, income levels, and more. GWST courses are committed to realizing the equality of all people in all areas of life so that our relationships-social, personal, and professional-are exemplified by the freedom and mutuality that can occur only among equals. Courses are interdisciplinary, taught by faculty from Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy, Literature, and the Sciences, and through various lenses, e.g. Feminist, Race Theory, Queer Theory, etc. Because students acquire the ability to think more globally, they are better equipped for employment with the various public, private, government, and non-profit organizations that increasingly seek candidates with a background in GWST studies.
