What is Women, Gender, & Sexuality Studies
Have you ever wondered about what Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies is or why our department is named after Harriet Tubman? Are you interested in how to learn more about LGBTQ+ issues and dive into the rich field of Queer Studies? Maybe you are concerned about how health, gender, and sexuality are connected and want to explore them through film. Or maybe you are looking for a place to explore intersections of race and gender through visual art and culture, or through learning about the history and lived experiences of Black Women. All of these are topics you can explore through classes in the Harriet Tubman Department's courses and undergraduate programs. Please join us for this hybrid open house where you can learn about our Summer and Fall 2025 courses and talk with the department about how our programs and courses can fit into different careers and enhance your future at UMD.
