The Augustana University gender, sexuality & women’s studies (GSWS) minor, housed within the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies (CIS), allows students to analyze gender as both a social construction and category, as well as how it shapes personal identities and experiences.
The GSWS minor consists mainly of elective courses in English, history, media studies, religion, sociology and Spanish. Students are also required to take a gateway course — Gender, Sex & Sexuality — as well as a capstone course. To complete the minor, students are encouraged to complete an internship or individual honors project.
