  Women’s Studies

  Degree programs in women’s studies focus on feminism and the history, culture, and politics of women. Courses examine the categories of identity – gender, sexuality, race, class, age, ability, and geopolitical affiliation – as well as the social processes and structures that frame them.

  Students of women’s studies consider questions like these:

  • How have women shaped the direction of the nation?
  • How have women influenced global events?
  • How have women influenced public life and politics throughout history?
  • How have women’s health issues been politicized?
  • How do men and women communicate differently?
  • How have women authors used literature to express political and business ideas?
  • Have the work and contributions of women been underrepresented?

  In exploring these topics, the curriculum aims to provide students with an understanding of both feminist theories and movements.
