The department's research aims to deepen academic methods by acknowledging the critical role of gender in history and culture, encouraging new perspectives and supporting novel research approaches. This commitment to scholarly inquiry prepares students for a wide range of professional careers while contributing to the broader understanding of gender and sexuality in contemporary society.
