Women's Studies Certificate Program Coordinator: Anne Humpherys 365 Fifth Avenue Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary approach to research and
scholarship that draws on various disciplines, while challenging
disciplinary boundaries, raising new questions and offering
different perspectives. The general aim of the program is to offer
critical reflection on the experiences of both women and men in
terms of differences of gender, sexuality, race, class, ethnicity
and nation. Particular attention is paid to the conditions of
women's lives and the varied forms of struggle to which these give
rise. Students are prepared to teach courses and to do research in
Women's Studies and related critical approaches to the disciplines.
Besides focused course work and guidance in research, Women's
Studies offers participation in a wide range of graduate
student-faculty activities, such as lecture series and forums.
