Welcome to Women’s and Gender Studies at Wake Forest University!

The Women’s and Gender Studies Program at Wake Forest University offers all students rigorous academic courses that examine and question cultural, biological, political,and social constructions of femininity and masculinity. Our program is interdisciplinary in content and approach. 

 Whether you enroll in a course that explores the history, literature, or issues of women, a class devoted to the sociology or politics of gender, or studies in masculinity or the gay and lesbian community, you will find yourself in the company of teachers and learners who encourage critical thinking and dialogue.
