Welcome to Women's Studies
Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary field of academic inquiry
that critically examines the diverse realities of women's lives and the
ways in which gender and power differentials shape human lives and
human societies. Women's studies pursues a fundamental critique of
knowledge by challenging the basic assumptions, menods of inquiry,
theoretical frameworks, and knowledge claims of traditional fields of
inquiry that have thought it unimportant to study women or gender.
Women's studies seeks to create new paradigms of knowledge and inquiry,
to develop more truthful and comprehensive understandings of humans and
our world, and to explore non-sexist alternatives for more richly human
lives and more fully human social orders.
