Student Spotlight

Guaman was attracted to WGSS at Brandeis because of the interdisciplinary nature of the program, which enables her to take classes in other departments, such as Anthropology, English, and Sociology. “Given the diverse areas of study made available within the WGS program I knew I would be able to obtain both a comprehensive and challenging education filled with cross-disciplinary theories,” she says.
