妇女与性别研究是一个研究领域，鼓励学生提出有关性别影响我们的思考方式、生活方式以及我们如何理解自己和他人的大问题。虽然该领域历史上是专注于妇女的生活，但在当代妇女与性别研究课堂上，重点放在性别，种族，阶级，年龄，性别，能力和大小等相互协作的方式。
Women’s and Gender Studies is a field of study that encourages students to ask big questions about the way that gender impacts how we think, how we live, and how we understand ourselves and others. Though the field historically focused on the lives of women, in the contemporary Women’s and Gender Studies classroom, an emphasis is placed on the ways that gender, race, class, age, sexuality, ability, and size work together.
