Welcome to Women, gender and sexuality studies (WGSS) at South Dakota State University!
The WGSS program offers an 18-credit undergraduate minor. Students work with the program coordinator to personalize their plans of study. The WGSS minor is a great complement to any major, because it prepares students to understand how gender and sexuality shape people's experiences, resulting in better engagement with others. Graduates with a minor in women, gender and sexuality studies will be able to:
- Recognize gender and sexuality as socio-cultural constructs that intersect with race, ethnicity, ability, nationality, and socio-economic status, among other aspects of identity.
- Analyze how institutions and policies influence and reinforce power inequities and cultural expectations about gender and sexuality.
- Engage in critical inquiry using theoretical and methodological lenses grounded in gender and sexuality studies.
The WGSS program co-sponsors events and speakers throughout the year.
