Women and Gender Studies is an interdisciplinary academic field that explores the roles, experiences, and contributions of women and gender in society. It examines how gender intersects with other social categories such as race, class, and sexuality, providing a comprehensive understanding of social dynamics and inequalities. The field encourages critical thinking about traditional gender roles and challenges stereotypes. It draws on various disciplines, including sociology, history, and literature, to analyze issues like feminism, masculinity, and sexuality. By studying these topics, students gain insights into the complexities of identity and power relations in contemporary society.
