Interdisciplinary Studies, B.A. Gender and Sexuality Studies Concentration Curriculum Guide (Suggested 4-Year Plan of Study)
The Fulton School of Liberal Arts offers a major in interdisciplinary studies leading to the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science. The major accommodates students who wish to develop programs of study in two or more disciplines or create a major in an area of study not offered by any traditional major at SU. This program allows students to create an individual and flexible major that is best suited to their interests or career goals. Most importantly, this program gives students the opportunity to integrate information across disciplines to help gain a more complete understanding of the chosen area of study.
Students majoring in interdisciplinary studies may choose a concentration in gender and sexuality studies. This concentration investigates how gender identities have developed over time and how women’s and men’s roles have been produced and shaped by social institutions, such as politics, religion, family, sexuality, media and arts. It will examine how our present day notions of femininity, masculinity, womanhood and manhood have developed and changed and how gender shapes past and present day social roles, behavior and culture.
