Women's and Gender Studies

The Women's and Gender Studies program at Kean is an 18 credit minor that students can take in conjunction with their academic major. It provides a grounding in feminist and queer critical thinking, and offers a gendered perspective to the study of social problems.

Take a class: ID 1300 Intro to Women’s and Gender studies explores how gender intersects with race, ethnicity, class, sexualities, nationality, and culture.

Get involved beyond the classroom: attend a guest lecture or panel discussion, participate in a student-led activity or field trips, and join one of the many gender-aware student groups, like PULSE.
