Ann Biddlecom '89, a member of the first graduating class from the Gender Studies Program, at an alumni panel last spring.
“The program was like a breath of fresh air,” Biddlecom said. “It was the only place where I was encouraged to have intense discussions about gender and the broader public world.
“The Gender Studies Program helped me see how we shape what gender means, how we play it out in life, and what the consequences can be.”

Gender Studies is about understanding people, both yourself and others. Gender Studies teaches us how human identities are shaped by gender and related traits such as sex, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, religion and nationality. Through Gender Studies, we not only strive to understand people better, but because of this endeavor, we hopefully become more understanding people.
