It looks at the intersections among racism, homophobia, sexism, classism, ableism, and other types of discrimination and how they have affected the social positions of individuals.

Women’s Studies and Gender Studies is an interdisciplinary program that draws on courses from Sociology, Criminology, Human Rights, Anthropology, and Psychology to provide a well-rounded study of gender and sexuality. 

The program at St. Thomas University emphasizes an intersectional perspective, which means students learn to analyze various forms of power differentials.
