Uraian Tempat

Established in 1977 as the first program in women's studies within Virginia's public universities, Women’s studies’ dynamic interdisciplinary field of study now offers degrees and courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Students in women's studies gain critical knowledge about the broader social, historical, and global conditions that shape women's and men's lives in a variety of contexts. It encourages students to apply this knowledge in ways that contribute to the improvement of women's lives throughout the world. As a core aspect of its service-learning philosophy, it sponsors a study abroad course to Cape Town, South Africa, where participants work with women leaders of community organizations ranging from maternity clinics to girls' education projects. They are also provided with opportunities to specialize their curriculum by working closely with the affiliated academic departments of English, African and African American Studies, Sociology and Criminal Justice, and International Studies. In addition, through the support of the friends of Women's Studies community organization, students may apply for one of the three endowed scholarships developed to enhance academic and community service opportunities for undergraduate majors and graduate students.
