Women's
Studies
Students
participating in the Women's Studies Program will develop an understanding
of the range of women's history and experience, including differences based
on class, race, culture or ethnic origin, religion, age, and sexual orientation.
This field draws from multiple perspectives--political, cultural, economic,
historical, social, biological, anthropological, and geographical--to study
gender and women's lives. As the following outline of courses required for
the major indicates, the program is both interdisciplinary and methodologically
diverse.
Students can begin exploring Women's Studies either by taking the Introduction to Women's Studies or by taking Women's Studies topics or elective courses. The following elective courses will count toward the Women's Studies Major and Minor (as listed online at www.dickinson.edu/departments/reg):
ENGL 101CF-01 African-American
Women Writers
ENGL 349P-01 Contemporary Latino/a Literature
RUSSN 244-01 Women and Russian Literature
Students interested
in either a major or a minor in Women’s Studies should contact
Prof. Julie Winterich (email: winterij@dickinson.edu
or x1435) either before they arrive on campus
or shortly thereafter.
