Women's Studies at UWG is an interdisciplinary program designed to introduce
students to feminist scholarship which emphasizes the cross-cultural understanding
of the social, political and cultural experiences of women. Women's Studies seeks
to critically analyze the intersection/interaction of gender, race, class and power
across time and space. Our program draws faculty from a variety of different
disciplines within and outside of the Social Sciences in order to provide students
with valuable training in interdisciplinary practice
