Why Take Women's Studies?Women’s Studies courses encourage students to analyze competing perspectives and integrate various bodies of knowledge across traditional academic boundaries. Students learn to identify and assess gender-based assumptions and biases and to recognize their consequences on an individual, social, and cultural level. Students develop critical thinking skills as they examine the process of acquiring knowledge and learn to question not only the answers, but the questions as well. Women’s Studies courses complement and enhance the training students receive in liberal arts and the professions. They may be taken to fulfill General Education requirements, or as part of the offerings in many departments. The feminist pedagogy used in Women’s Studies courses empowers all students to become active learners and social change agents through discussion, written work, collaborative projects and practical involvement beyond the classroom.
