跨学科文学硕士-妇女与性别研究

致力于研究，教学和行动主义的融合，妇女和性别研究的集中在两个方面都非常出色。首先，我们对多学科教学法的承诺确保您有机会探索整个大学的课程，以提高您的智力和职业目标。第二，我们是一个社区。在这里，学生，教职员工会在教室内外找到一个热情好客的家庭，为他们的工作和个人发展提供支持。您将与著名的教师一起学习，该研究的重点是性别，性，种族，阶级，年龄，残疾，国家，宗教和其他社会类别。教师的专业知识包括人权和边缘化的性身份，健康不平等的性别和种族决定因素，社会机构和组织中的不平等以及性伴侣和亲密伴侣的暴力行为。除课程
Dedicated to the merging of research, teaching, and activism, the women and gender studies concentration is extraordinary in two respects. First, our commitment to a multidisciplinary pedagogy ensures that you'll have the opportunity to explore the courses throughout the university that advance your intellectual and professional goals. Second, we are a community. Here, students, faculty and staff find a welcoming home that supports their work and personal development, both inside and outside the classroom.You will study with renowned faculty whose research emphasizes the intersection of gender, sexuality, race, class, age, disability, nation, religion and other social categories. Faculty expertise includes human rights and marginalized sexual identities, the gendered and raced determinants of heath inequality, inequalities in social institutions and organization, and sexual and intimate partner violence.In addition to their coursework, students participate in internships such as at the American Associate of University Women and the Fairfax County Office of Women & Domestic and Sexual Violence Services, or in public service activities. Students work with organizations that support trans and queer communities, sex workers, women, and immigrants. They help organize and participate in an annual gender research conference that showcases student, faculty and staff scholarship and presents creative work by Mason and community members.The diversity?including sexual, gender, race, ethnicity, class, age, ability status, religion, and nation?within the women and gender studies community grounds an informed and multi-perspective discussion in and outside the classroom. Students also benefit from the program's proximity to the Washington, D.C, area, with its abundant non-profits, service organizations, and research opportunities.
