Women's and Gender Studies in Europe Info Session
Are you curious about how gender and race/ethnicity are experienced and understood in Western and East Central Europe in comparison to the US? Are you ready to explore the challenges and insights of the latest feminist and queer theories cross-culturally? Have you wondered what you can do to effectively contest patriarchy, homophobia, and racism and transform the world for the better?
Since 1984, Women’s and Gender Studies in Europe has offered students a unique opportunity to explore feminist and queer theory in practice across Western and East Central Europe. Interaction with academics, politicians, activists, and homestay hosts encourages comparative approaches to independent research projects. Students explore the culture and history of Amsterdam, Utrecht, Berlin, and Prague throughout the program.
Carleton will add a new course for Fall 2025: POSC 243: Socio-Political Systems and Gender Issues Across Europe. Read the course description under “Academics.”
