The Gender Studies program is a truly interdisciplinary program that in addition to gender explores issues of race, class, religion, and nationality in every context imaginable: ancient, medieval, and modern cultures; the lives of whites and people of color; the study of heterosexuality and homosexuality; every region of the world and every discipline in Arts and Letters. The library collections in Gender studies reflect this interdisciplinarity in that material can be found in every call number range as well as every format.
