DESCRIPTION OF ABOVE SERVICE:
Women's Studies offers an Honours and a Major Program leading to
the Bachelor's degree. The interdisciplinary Women's Studies curriculum
is based on the principle that there is no single group of women whose
lives define a generic Woman, hence no single fminism and no one path to
women's liberation. Consequently, the courses are designed to introduce
students to a diversity of perspectives on women's histories, struggles,
experiences and thought. Although a number of departments have developed
curricula that address gender from within their particular disciplines,
Women's Studies builds on traditional and evolving knowledge and
methodologies to integrate the many forms of feminist scholarship and
activism. Furthermore, through its course content and pedagogical focus,
the Department continuously seeks to explore the concerns and experiences
of those women traditionally outside the scope of mainstream thought and
therfore rendered invisible in descriptions of female experience. This
"centering the margins" is part of our ongoing commitment to broadening
and deepening feminist understanding of gender.
