“Minoring in Women’s Studies has been one of the best decisions I’ve made in my time 在大学. What I love about the program is that there’s so much more than just “women’s 问题”. I feel like there’s so much I’ve learned about that I would never have been able to understand until I started taking these classes. 这个程序创建了 students that are incredibly well-rounded, with the ability to better understand information 博天堂官方网站他们周围的世界.”

“I love my Women's Studies Minor because I have learned a lot about my male privilege and how I need to use this to counter act patriarchal forces. 这个项目也 thought me a lot about my queerness and how that interacts with my ethnic background and masculinity in a 社会 that perpetuates heteronormativity.”

WOMEN'S STUDIES TO GENDER STUDIES: THE HISTORY OF OUR PROGRAM
性别研究 may be best understood as an evolution from the Women's Studies programs founded in the context of the women’s movement during the 1960's and after. 大学 of Northern Colorado Women's Studies department was the first program of its kind in the state of Colorado, established in 1974. After many years of instruction under this title, the faculty visited the issue in 2013 to consider changing the name of the program so that it would reflect a shift already taking place in the content and 课程重点. In 2014, the name of the University of Northern Colorado's program was changed to 性别研究 to recognize formally its more comprehensive attention to women, men, and various aspects of gender.
With approval and support from the University and the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, the 性别研究 program transitioned the name of the Women’s Studies 性别研究课程. The name change required a new department code: GNDR. 所有 course numbers were changed from WS to GNDR.
