Ringkasan program

The major emphasizes the diversity of women's lives and provides a historical and contemporary examination of women of different races, ethnicities, nationalities, religions, classes, and sexual orientations. With liberation, justice, and equity issues as central concerns, women's studies provides feminist analyses of the knowledge generated by other academic disciplines and of societal institutions and processes, and it explores the possibilities of feminist transformation of these. Women's studies also examine the construction of gender, its intersections with race and class, and its implications for society. Finally, women's studies actively engage students in the generation of new knowledge and areas of inquiry. Within the women's studies major, students are able to plan courses to meet specific career, academic and life goals. In consultation with their adviser students have specialized in some of the following areas: an applied feminism focus that includes coursework paired with internship to prepare them for a career in social services, public policy, government, activism, or graduate program emphasizing these; a transnational focus that includes coursework representing the wide scope of feminism and feminist scholarship around the globe which connects students with a transhistorical and transnational understanding of women's lives, experiences, political situations, and accomplishments. Students who focus their major in this way are prepared for international careers, policy development, and further graduate academic study; and a liberal arts focus allows students to diversify their coursework and develop a broad base of understanding and scholarship preparing them for further work in almost any field of work or study. Because women's studies is an interdisciplinary major that builds critical thinking, writing, communication, planning and analysis skills, students are able to easily add a second major or minor in another discipline with the guidance of their adviser that complements women's studies and further broadens career and academic opportunities.
