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