Gender Studies
Gender Studies helps us to understand men and women's situation today: our roles and experiences in dating, marriages, families and other relationships, our perceptions and expectations of ourselves, our career opportunities, our treatment in academia and the greater world. It also considers the role of the body in the formation of human sexuality and spirituality and in the formation of individual identity.
