Women’s
Studies is a dynamic
field of inquiry that challenges its participants, both faculty and
students. Women’s Studies at UW offers students the opportunity to explore
issues of gender and sexuality through a major, minor, and graduate
program. Our Women’s Studies program not only fills in the gaps in our
knowledge about women but also stimulates us to review and reflect on how
our knowledge is gendered. Our classes promote critical thinking, writing
and analytical skills. In the spirit of feminism, our students and faculty
tend to be campus and community leaders. We are proud that our student
group, the Women’s Action Network WAN) was recognized last year by the
Associated Students of UW (ASUW) for its success on campus.
On this site, you will find links to our curriculum, course offerings,
