Women's and Gender Studies
is an Interdisciplinary Program that examines
the multiple roles gender plays in everyday life,
the impacts of gendered practices on social,
cultural, and political behavior and thought, and
the intersections of gender, race, sexuality, and class.

Our courses examine topics such as women in culture
and history; gender and race, class, and sexuality;
gender in literature, politics, the law, and the sciences.


Founded in 1991, we have expanded to offer an
undergraduate major and minor and a graduate minor.
We are proud to include faculty from every college
at LSU, representing over 25 departments.
