Women's Studies
Minor Requirements - 18 Credits
Women's Studies is devoted to the critical interrogation of gender's role in structuring individual experience. Women's Studies also examines gender's impact on the global distribution of economic and political opportunity in specific historical and social contexts. Women's Studies' students will be able to engage with a variety of different theoretical and political feminist positions, and demonstrate an awareness of feminist scholarship in at least two disciplines, as well as the relationship between Women's Studies and feminist scholarship in other disciplines. Students will learn the theories underlying feminism(s) as well as the skills necessary to effectively communicate them.
