Dr. Laurie Naranch, Director

Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies is an interdisciplinary field encompassing scholarship about women and gender. The Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies minor at Siena introduces students to the analysis of gender roles in a variety of cultures, fosters an appreciation of diverse women’s contributions to society and the arts, and trains students in the theories and research methodologies of women’s, gender, and sexuality studies. This minor offers students a means for understanding social, intellectual, and political forces that mold both men’s and women’s lives, and aids students in challenging sexism and other sorts of oppressions.
