gender studies?
Women's & Gender Studies is an interdisciplinary undergraduate Program that provides an academic framework and broad-based community for scholarly inquiry focusing on women, gender, race, and sexuality. Exploring gender with the tools of multiple disciplines, Women's & Gender Studies subjects strive to help MIT students better understand how knowledge and value take different forms depending on a variety of social variables.
