Women & Gender Studies is an interdisciplinary program dedicated to exploring women’s experience through their roles, contributions and scholarship. As such, the program studies the varied representations of women within the contexts of ethnicity, class, sexual orientation and gender.
In the Women and Gender Studies Program, students are encouraged to critically think about women’s place in contemporary society while discovering the lost contents of women’s contributions in the past. Women and Gender Studies prepares students for employment and for graduate work through a variety of interdisciplinary courses from the Colleges of Arts & Humanities, Business & Economics, Health Professions and Social & Behavioral Sciences.
We are proud of our interdisciplinary program and of our distinct faculty. These are faculty who have helped in the creation and restructuring of our program courses. Many are faculty who are recognized scholars in their fields.
Thank you for visiting the Women & Gender Studies Program home page and for your interest in the program. Come visit us at scenic Weber State University, nestled at the base of the mountains at 3848 Harrison Boulevard in Ogden. We are located in Lindquist Hall 232. Please email melinaalexander@weber.edu for more information.
We look forward to hearing from you.
