Women's Studies Minor

The purpose of the UNC Women’s Studies Program is to enable participants—as students and lifelong learners—to investigate gender issues through interdisciplinary approaches. By studying historical and contemporary constructions of gender, students discover the ways in which race, class, sexual identity, age, and ability impact the roles humans create and play and how these roles impact our personal, political, and social lives.
