The interdisciplinary major & minor sequences in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies
support Illinois Wesleyan University's commitment to diversity and social justice
through courses that open discussion about the ways in which gender and sexuality
construct our lives and institutions. WGSS courses across multiple departments focus
on gender and LGBTQ+ issues in academic study, consider feminist and queer perspectives
in philosophy, politics, and history, and challenge assumptions about women's roles,
gender identities, and sexualities in American and world cultures. WGSS courses are
open to all undergraduates and most offer general education credit to meet diverse
IWU requirements.
