Specialization in Women, Gender, and Social Justice - Specialization Undergraduate

The Specialization in Women, Gender, and Social Justice is available as an elective to students who are enrolled in bachelor’s degree programs other than the Bachelor of Arts Degree in Women’s and Gender Studies at Michigan State University. This interdisciplinary and cross-discipline specialization provides students with in-depth opportunities to study gender and its intersections with other aspects of identity within the students’ field of interest. Today’s scholars are broadening understandings of gender and gender identity. Cutting-edge scholarship is examining the multiple ways that individuals and groups experience oppression and resistance to oppression. Students enrolled in this specialization will be able to apply such understandings to their fields of interest through specific content areas which include gender, race, and ethnic identity; gender and sexuality; gender, history, and narrative; gender conflict or violence; gender and public policy; gender and literary, visual and performance arts; gender and health; and gender and urban spaces.
