Women's Studies at HCW
The program in
Women's Studies acknowledges an understanding of the
contributions of women to culture, the roles of women in society
and the philosophical, psychological and biological assumptions
about women that have defined their history. The program allows
the student to examine the position of women from an
interdisciplinary perspective, stressing the interrelated
circumstances that have determined their status in the arts, in
the workforce, before the law, in the family and in other social,
political and economic realms. By proposing alternative points of
view, Women's Studies encourages an expansion of information and
dialogue of ideas within traditional disciplines. Its purpose is
to foster methods in those disciplines that will uncover, analyze
and eliminate bias toward either sex.
Students considering a major or minor in Women's Studies should
plan their course work in consultation with a member of the Women's
Studies Steering Committee.

Please note that the Women's Studies major is
