Academics

Women's Studies places the social construction of gender in the context of national and international political and economic relations.

Women's Studies seeks to provide students with a systematic knowledge of the multidisciplinary scholarship about gender and by women, to enhance the qualifications of students preparing to work in today's diverse workplaces, to further university and societal goals of diversity and equity, and to work for social and institutional change.

Women's Studies at WSU emphasizes collaborative learning and critical thinking in a global and activist context, one which gives students ownership over their education. Students are encouraged to reevaluate assumptions, to analyze the structures and systems controlling and shaping both women's and men's lives, and to use their knowledge in practical and meaningful ways.
