Women's Studies is an academic minor that students may take in conjunction with any major course of study. Women's Studies examines the interplay of gender, race, class, and sexuality by focusing on the experience of women, the concept of gender, and the cultural productions by and about women within specific contexts and across various indentities and academic disciplines.
Students, when they take Women's Studies courses, are encouraged to connect personal experiences with the broader political picture. When they identify social ills or cultural and institutional practices that need improvement, they may develop strategies for change. The Women's Center puts these strategies into practice.
Our Mission
In keeping with the national women's studies movement and organizations, the mission of the Women's Studies Minor at East Stroudsburg University is to develop an interdisciplinary academic area of study that, through specialized focus courses, examines women's experiences, perspectives, and contributions to knowledge.
A complementary mission is to transform the educational curriculum and institution in order to include the scholarship, knowledge, and perspectives of women, and other historically oppressed groups, and to enable the equal participation of those groups in the educational process.
