Women's, Gender & Sexuality Studies at NEIU

Women's, Gender & Sexuality Studies at NEIU Our mission is to empower students to reimagine our future and work toward liberation for all our communities.

Women's and Gender Studies is a vibrant interdisciplinary field that explores the experiences of women and investigates the many ways that gender shapes all of our identities and opportunities. We, at Northeastern Illinois University, approach our studies through intersections of feminist, anti-racist, multicultural, queer, global and ecological perspectives. Through our major, minor, and LGBTQ S

tudies minor, we examine how power is distributed and used along the intersections of race, class, gender, geography, age, abilities and sexualities. Our course offerings include:
African American Women: Feminism, Race & Resistance, Men & Masculinities, Sociology of Latinas, Sociology of Sexualities, Radical Feminist Imagination, Science & the Gendered Body and Violence Against Women. We work together to create an environment of learning and passionate commitment to social justice. Women’s and Gender Studies is not just about learning facts and theories, but also about using our knowledge to become practitioners, researchers, learners, leaders and activists. We work to develop and implement meaningful social change within the university and beyond.
