Women's studies places women's experiences and lives at the center of study, and draws on feminist and interdisciplinary methods in examining topics such as social and cultural constructs of gender; systems of privilege and oppression; and relationships between power and gender as they intersect with other identities and social locations such as age, race, sexual orientation, socio-economic class, and disability.
