妇女研究理学学士

妇女研究领域致力于研究妇女的生活，并促进政治活动和社区参与。使妇女研究成为一个如此活跃的领域的原因是，人们认为，将理论知识与政治项目和个人经历联系在一起可以最好地阐明这一点。我们的妇女研究课程是多学科的，与其他社会和经济力量，例如种族主义，民族中心主义，资本主义和军国主义有关，着重于妇女，性别和性行为。学生有机会在女权主义和社会正义框架内考察妇女在地方，国家和全球范围内的各种经历。
Women's and Gender Studies is a dynamic interdisciplinary field preparing students to be future leaders, scholars, and social justice activists. We are dedicated to studying the social production of gender and women's experiences in relation to formations of sexuality, race, class, nationality, ability, ageism, and other categories of difference. Scholarship and research in Women's and Gender Studies emphasize the importance of connecting what students learn in the classroom to political projects and personal experiences.<br><br>Our curriculum empowers students to be agents of change in their communities and society. It provides them tools to examine relations of gender in local, national, and global contexts. Our courses situate gender within specific historical and cultural contexts, allowing students to examine how our lives are shaped by social and economic institutions, political movements, and individual experiences. Putting Theory into Practice since 1971, we place a strong emphasis on community involvement and activism, and we offer many opportunities for internships and service work credit.<br><br>The B.S. in Women's and Gender Studies prepares students for careers in education, as professors, teachers, or curriculum specialists, counseling, as school counselors, psychological or family therapists, law, health, human services, student services, and public service.
