Women's
Studies is a multidisciplinary field that expands the traditional
liberal
arts curriculum by focusing on the relationships of gender, culture and
society. The Women's Studies program at Binghamton University offers
students
an opportunity to focus their studies on the experiences of women and
the
constructions of gender at the intersections of race, class and
sexuality.
Students
pursuing work in Women's Studies are expected to consult with a faculty
member working in the Women's Studies area or the Women's Studies
director
regarding their educational plans and completion of requirements.
Faculty
members from a variety of disciplines offer regular courses in Women's
Studies. Each semester, the Women's Studies department publishes a list
of courses relevant to the program. Internships and special projects in
local agencies are also possible under the supervision of the program's
director
