Gender Studies courses encourage students to make strong personal connections between classroom material and their own experience. Through applying feminist theories to their own lives, students learn, interpret and evaluate various cultural phenomena, using a broad range of criteria, including gender, ethnicity, race, class, age and sexual orientation.
An activism component within gender studies encourages students to evoke change for the purpose of achieving a more just and humane world, paralleling Nebraska Wesleyan's mission that students develop a sense of individual worth and become useful and serving members of the global community. |
