Global Gender Advocacy Certificate Program

The advanced online graduate certificate in Global Gender Advocacy prepares scholars, artists, community organizers, and professionals from a variety of fields to apply the skills and values of gender advocacy in global contexts, from feminist activism to anti-racist organizing to LGBTQ rights. The program is developed specifically for students who seek to expand their knowledge of women’s, gender, and sexuality studies with cultural competencies across racial, ethnic, and national differences. Students will analyze social problems at the intersection of gender, sexuality, race, class, and nationality and also evaluate best practices for advocacy within and across national borders.
