Students analyze the significance of gender in all areas of life, especially in the social formation of human identities, practices, and institutions. Women’s and Gender Studies provides students with an intellectual framework in which the analysis of gender can be creatively and critically applied to their personal, familial, professional, and civic roles. Women’s Studies, in particular, provides students with knowledge of women’s roles and influence in culture, as well as the impact of social institutions, systems, and philosophies or attitudes toward women. This specialization also requires the completion of an approved minor and participation in UWF’s Annual Women’s and Gender Studies Student Conference. The combination of the interdisciplinary specialization and a related minor prepares students for pursuing a wide array of careers in teaching, counseling, community relations, law, recreation, social work, and business, with an enhanced understanding of how gender and sexual politics operate in those professional and social environments.
