The Women’s studies Department enables students from a variety of disciplines to examine women’s experience in a gendered society. Classes in women’s studies critically examine cultural assumptions about gender, race and class.
Students can expect to be equipped with the tools to identify factors that constrain women’s lives, and examine feminist genre, research methods, aesthetics, criticism and contemporary issues.
This interdisciplinary program draws on courses from a variety of disciplines and women’s resources in the campus community to enhance a core of courses offered by the Women’s Studies Program.
