Mission/Vision Statement
The Gender Studies Program at IU Southeast is interdisciplinary and draws from diverse specializations. In the program, students learn and share knowledge about the way gender, sexuality, and culture shape the experiences, ideologies, individuals, and politics in the world. Students explore issues of gender, sexuality, and culture in the context of history, literature, class studies, religion, art, philosophy, sociology, the natural sciences and other areas. The Women’s and Gender Studies program is dedicated to working for intellectual excellence, educational equity and a campus free of sexism, racism, heterosexism and other forms of discriminatory treatment.
