Welcome to the Gender & Women's Studies Program

UTRGV's Gender & Women’s Studies Program (GWSP) provides inclusive learning environments to advance interdisciplinary scholarship, teaching, and community engagement that analyze and transform the dynamics of gender, sexuality, and other intersectional categories of difference. By placing women, gender, and sexuality at the center of our research and teaching, the GWSP expands our understandings of diverse human experiences as well as promotes global justice and more equitable futures. The Program cultivates students’ critical thinking skills to succeed in a broad spectrum of careers and fosters social awareness attuned to the culturally rich region of the Rio Grande Valley, the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, and beyond.
