Critical Race, Gender and Sexuality Studies (CRGS) is an undergraduate program focused on the critical examination of race, class, gender, sexuality, dis/ability and nation as intersecting categories of identity, oppression and resistance. As a community of scholars, teachers and learners from the interdisciplinary fields of ethnic studies, women’s studies and multicultural queer studies, we aim t

o create a just and sustainable world by analyzing systems of inequality and strategies for resistance. Our critical approach is intersectional and comparative; our focus is local, national, and transnational. This knowledge engenders transformative practices in research, creative work, and community activism. Ethnic Studies, Women's Studies, and Multicultural Queer Studies at Cal Poly Humboldt have a history of collaboration emerging from our shared commitment to intersectional analysis, emancipatory education, and social justice. For years, faculty and students in ES, WS and MQS have worked to create an interdisciplinary, innovative, and rich program that builds on our shared commitments and approaches, while simultaneously retaining the important and unique identity of each academic field. In 2010, we combined our programs into the Department of Critical Race, Gender and Sexuality Studies (CRGS). Students will now be able to pursue a major with a common CRGS core and a focus of study in Ethnic Studies, Women's Studies or Multicultural Queer Studies. We are excited about the future before us and invite you to join our growing community.
