Doctor of Philososphy [Ph.D] [Global Gender Studies] From University at Buffalo

The courses within each concentration recognize developing trends in studies of gender issues in Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, Europe and the United States. Our objective is to link local and global knowledge, so as to prepare students with the capacity to link gender and history, literature and policy, and to be able to apply these to graduate work and practical employment.

The Department of Transnational Studies aims to promote excellence in cross-border, comparative and interdisciplinary research and teaching, and replicate the experience of a small liberal arts college in the midst of a major research university.?

Within the department, students have access to several fields of study: African and African American Studies, American Studies, Canadian Studies, Caribbean and Latin American Studies, and Latino/a Studies. While each of the fields that comprise our programs have a long and independent history, they have been brought together under one roof to allow students to meet the challenges of membership in the world?s ever more deeply connected, yet always diverse, communities.
