Women’s <strong>and</strong> Gender Studies provides students a coherent,<br />
but flexible, program <strong>of</strong> study examining scholarship <strong>and</strong><br />
theory on the history, status, contributions, <strong>and</strong> experiences<br />
<strong>of</strong> women <strong>and</strong> men in diverse cultural communities.<br />
The interdisciplinary perspective <strong>of</strong> the field exp<strong>and</strong>s our<br />
intellectual vision <strong>and</strong> our capacity to resolve problems.<br />
The Women’s <strong>and</strong> Gender Studies Program is committed<br />
to an exp<strong>and</strong>ing recognition <strong>of</strong> the impact <strong>and</strong> strength<br />
<strong>of</strong> difference <strong>and</strong> diversity in people’s lives.<br />
The Women’s <strong>and</strong> Gender Studies major, minor, <strong>and</strong><br />
four-year degree programs enable students to analyze<br />
how gender, in its dynamic interrelationship with race<br />
<strong>and</strong> class, has shaped <strong>and</strong> given meaning to people’s<br />
lives.<br />
The Women’s <strong>and</strong> Gender Studies Program is<br />
administered by the director <strong>and</strong> the Women’s Studies<br />
Governing Board. The following faculty serve on the<br />
Women’s Studies Governing Board: Bennion, Borshuk,<br />
Colanese, L. Collins, Davis, Gerken, S. Joyce, Lidinsky,<br />
Lucal, McGuire, Roth, Rusnock, Sage, L. Walker, <strong>and</strong><br />
Zwicker.<br />
