The Gender Studies Program at Pacific is an interdisciplinary program that involves a variety of courses in different disciplines—art history, biology, classics, English, French, history, psychology, religion, sociology and sport sciences—dealing with issues of gender.

Our program offers a minor to students interested in the study of gender. Students also have the option to work on a self-designed major in Gender Studies in consultation with their faculty adviser(s) and the Director of the Gender Studies Program.

Through the Gender Studies Program we invite you to explore:

• The social construction of masculine and feminine identities
• How gender intersects with nationality, race, ethnicity and class
• The way in which gender identities are redefined over time
• Gender representations in art, film and literature
• How gender impacts the practice of science, health and medicine
