Women's Studies is an international discipline that focuses on gender, race, class, sexuality, ability, nation, and language as a means of understanding social systems and making meaningful contributions to a range of fields. Through a feminist perspective, women's studies looks at how gender organizes and divides the world, and how individuals can make a difference for women and girls, and wider human rights and environmental causes. This discipline may be combined with a range of related fields at the undergraduate and graduate levels, to allow students to demonstrate a refined focus and complementary specializations.
