UMaine’s Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program examines gender and sexuality as they intersect with race, ethnicity, class, nationality, dis/ability, and other sites of social inequality. Students critique and evaluate these relations of power within a transnational context. As a discipline grounded in women’s studies, they seek to make visible women’s contributions and struggles. They affirm a feminist commitment to social justice and engaged citizenship. Feminist and queer theories inform their work as they collaborate across disciplinary boundaries to transform knowledge, practices, and institutions.
