What is Women's Studies?
Women's Studies is a multidisciplinary program that looks at the lives and experiences of women through many disciplines--history, art, psychology, economics, and public health, among others. Students in the Women's Studies Program explore the ways in which gender shapes women's and men's experiences in various global cultures. They also consider how cultural differences affect women's lives within multicultural societies. The program is committed to integrating classroom and community, and to preparing students to be active citizens in their communities. Students in Women's Studies apply feminist theories and analyses to current social issues and develop the skills necessary for active citizenship.
What is FORGE?
FORGE (Fighting for Our Rights and Gender Equality) is the Women's Studies student group. FORGE provides learning and leadership opportunities for students who are interested in women's and gender-related issues, human rights issues, campus and community activism, and ending discrimination. FORGE is a great way to get involved in campus activities and activism. You do not have to be a Women's Studies minor to be a member of FORGE!
