Why study Gender Studies?

By studying the complexities of different genders, and by understanding their experiences in society, students can work to advocate equality and gender justice through sociology, government and policy and community development positions. Gender Studies offers a student a unique set of skills: empowerment, self-confidence, critical thinking, building community, and understanding differences and intersections among racism, homophobia, sexism, classism, ableism, anti-Semitism and other types of oppression. These skills can be used in a variety of careers in order to be a more successful leader in any organization, a better colleague who will know how to be effective in diverse work settings and someone whose insights into differences will benefit you when working with clients or other key players in your career. Students could contribute to this field further by pursuing a career in gender research.
