Women & Gender Studies

Begun in 1996 as Women's Studies, EKU Women and Gender Studies (WGS) is an interdisciplinary program offering both a minor and a certificate in Women and Gender Studies.

WGS acquaints students with the growing research on intersections of gender, race, class, sexualities, and abilities and promotes active learning and social engagement.

In our classes as well as in our student groups, we encourage students to analyze competing perspectives and to integrate knowledge across traditional academic boundaries. Students learn to identify and analyze gender-based assumptions and biases and to recognize their consequences on individual, social, and cultural levels.

Have you seen or experienced an act of violence on campus? Have you witnessed someone acting inappropriately? You can now report these instances anonymously via the EKU Ethics Point page, sponsored by Colonels Comply.
