Minor in Gender and Women's Studies

Gender and women’s studies is an inherently interdisciplinary exploration into both academic and experiential understandings of the ways in which gender permeates fields of study as structured at Naropa University. Through critical analysis of the intersections of gender and women’s studies with issues including race, class, religion, sexual orientation, and culture, students are able to cultivate a contemplative awareness of their relationship with globally interwoven social structures. The Gender and Women’s Studies minor prepares students to envision and create a world free from gender oppression.
