  The goal of the Directorship and the program is to live the college’s mission by committing to the pursuit of truth and to the dignity of all people. In the context of Women's Studies, this mission is lived through the interdisciplinary examination of women's contributions to culture and history and the study of links between culture and gender in diverse contexts. Students are encouraged to take classes that focus on women’s experiences and the construction of gender roles and identities from a variety of areas, including history, psychology, religion, English, communications, art history, philosophy, and sociology.
