To mark International Women’s Day on March 8, the University of St. Thomas in Houston is announcing a new sexuality and gender studies program rooted in the Catholic understanding of the human person.
“That’s what this program is all about: to give leaders the tools they need — philosophical, scientific, and rhetorical — to witness to the beauty and truth of the Catholic understanding of the human person,” Kevin Stuart, director of the university’s Nesti Center for Faith and Culture, announced in a press release.
As program manager at the Nesti Center for Faith and Culture, Leah A. Jacobson confirmed that the center will offer a graduate certificate in Sexuality and Gender, along with a Master’s program in Catholic Women’s and Gender Studies, beginning this fall.
“The MA will really be a first of its kind WGS [Women’s and Gender Studies] program,” Jacobson told Our Sunday Visitor of the Master’s program. “As far as I know, there are no other programs, anywhere, that seek to study these issues from the perspective of fidelity to the magisterium and advancement of women’s position and dignity in the world.”
As a kind of precursor to the Master’s program, the university will launch the graduate certificate with a press conference on March 8. The certificate promises to “equip students with the truth of Catholic intellectual tradition as they tackle controversial subjects of gender and sexuality in professional spheres,” according to the university press release.
