Gender, Sexuality, and Women&#8217;s Studies?<\/h2>\n<p>The Gender, Sexuality, and Women\u2019s Studies program at Montclair State University takes seriously and thoughtfully its status as interdisciplinary. We approach our work, informed by an understanding of the intersectional experience of gender and sexuality, as indeed alive in all disciplinary arenas, as relevant across and also inter or between: from the study of the arts to the scientific research lab, in how we educate future teachers to our efforts to understand the human mind. Gender and sexuality are forces within which we all move as human beings, and they shift and change across categories of race, class, ability, ethnic identity and more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"prpl-button-row\"><span class=\"prpl-button\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.montclair.edu\/gender-sexuality-and-womens-studies\/about-us\">About Us<\/a><\/span><\/p><br \/>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"prpl-band red image-right\"><div class=\"image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mlt-responsive-image\" data-original-image=\"\/gender-sexuality-and-womens-studies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2018\/11\/studywithusimage.jpg\" src=\"\/responsive-media\/cache\/gender-sexuality-and-womens-studies\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/174\/2018\/11\/studywithusimage.jpg.0.1x.generic.jpg\" alt=\"Photo of students in class\"\/><\/div><div class=\"text-content\">\n<h2>Our Mission Statement<\/h2>\n<p>The Gender, Sexuality, and Women\u2019s Studies Program at Montclair State University offers students training in critical thinking, writing, data analysis and an education in the newest theoretical and methodological approaches to understanding intersecting identities such as gender, sexuality, class, race, religion, ethnicity and other factors.
