Women's Studies
Welcome to the Women's
Studies Program website. This website is designed to provide information
for Women's Studies Majors and Minors and students thinking of majoring
or minoring in Women's Studies at Northeastern,
as well as for people interested in Women's Studies. The Women's Studies
Program, established in 1971, is an interdisciplinary program, with an
undergraduate major and minor, designed to critically re-examine the traditional
body of knowledge about women and women's roles from a feminist perspective.
The goal of the program is to integrate the new knowledge about women and
gender into the academic curriculum and incorporate a new orientation toward
women into all areas of the university. The program currently supports
approximately 10 majors, 32 minors, and nearly 500 non-minor students,
with 19 core faculty and 16 affiliate faculty.
The Women's Studies Program sponsors many events that promote its mission and enrich the University community. During Women's History Month (March 2007) the Feminist Activism class (WSP 202) performed "The Vagina Monologues" in the Stage Center Theatre with proceeds going to Young
Women's Action Team. Also, we hosted a film screening and discussion
with the Empowered FeFe's of Access Living and Beyondmedia.
The Empowering Students Computer is located in the of Women's Studies office in CLS 2096. Lab asssistants
are available by appointment to help students learn basic computer skills.
Call 773-442-4550 for more information.
Women's Self Defense (WSP 150) will be taught
for the fourth time, Summer 2007. We now have photos and more information on
the course and professor.
