Multicultural Women’s and Gender Studies

At TWU's Department of Multicultural Women’s and Gender Studies, our goal is to provide each of our students with a transdisciplinary, transgressive and transformative education taught by a nationally recognized faculty.

As the largest public university primarily for women in the U.S. with one of the top 10 most diverse student populations in the nation, our department offers a multicultural curriculum that focuses on feminist and womanist scholarship on behalf of human rights and social justice.

Dr. Danielle Phillips-Cunningham is the Multicultural Women's and Gender Studies Program Director. If you have questions about our program, please email womenstudies@twu.edu.
