Course syllabi

With our ever-evolving curriculum, the Department of Women's Studies seeks to revise the approaches of traditional disciplines by posing questions related to the diverse experiences and social locations of women; to develop innovative interdisciplinary approaches that investigate intersections of gender with other categories of identity such as race, class and sexuality; to make connections ranging from our local community to international locations; and to stimulate activism and research.
