Women's 和 Gender Studies Overview
One of the most amazing things about the women’s 和 gender studies program is the kind of wonderful, 聪明的, compassionate people the program attracts. From the incredible professors to my peers who have shared the most powerful insights on intersectionality, I have learned so much from the people here. Not only have I come to a better underst和ing of myself 和 my own gender, it has also exp和ed the ways I think about community power as a way of disrupting structural oppression 和 fostering empathy. It has really prepared me to go out 和 turn all the theory I’ve learned in the classroom into praxis in the real world.
