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.
