Gender Studies
No TL;DR found
Abstract
The Gender Studies Program at Pacific is a thriving interdisciplinary consortium of faculty and students committed to both a curricular and cultural environment supportive of the study of gender. We are interested in how gender intersects with definitions of nationality, race, ethnicity, and class; and how gender identities are constantly redefined over time. By exploring the relationship between gender identity and cultural meaning, we prepare students to think comparatively, structurally and critically about their experiences and impact on the world. The dialogue we foster among the liberal arts, natural sciences and the professions enriches the intellectual life of Pacific’s students and faculty, as well as our surrounding community.
