妇女与性别研究综述

作为一名妇女和性别研究的学生, you will gain a profound understanding of how to influence ongoing political and economic inequalities. You’ll explore how media and marketing construct women and disempowered bodies in manipulative ways as you learn that feminism is about addressing institutionalized inequality for all people. 在查塔姆国际事务研究所研究这些话题尤其有益, as issues related to gender are at the forefront of Chatham’s identity and mission.

Program School

文理学院 & Business

One of the most amazing things about the women’s and gender studies program is the kind of wonderful, intelligent, 这个项目吸引了富有同情心的人. From the incredible professors to my peers who have shared the most powerful insights on intersectionality, 我从这里的人们身上学到了很多. Not only have I come to a better understanding of myself and my own gender, it has also expanded the ways I think about community power as a way of disrupting structural oppression and fostering empathy. It has really prepared me to go out and turn all the theory I’ve learned in the classroom into praxis in the real world.
