Women’s & Gender Studies Historical Archive

Women’s & Gender Studies Historical Archive Something Universities used to have Women’s Studies is an interdisciplinary program that places women and gender at the center of academic analysis.

Students learn how gender affects social relationships, artistic expression, institutional structures, and national and international political, cultural, and economic relations. While centrally concerned with gender dynamics, Women’s Studies also explores the ways other dimensions of diversity, including race, ethnicity, nationality, class, sexual orientation, age, and ability shape the experien

ces of both women and men. The Women’s Studies Program at Pittsburg State University is headed by both a Director and a Council comprised of faculty, students, administration, and staff. The Director is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the program and answers to the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. The Council is appointed by the Office of the President and is responsible for the program’s long range planning and growth. Minor in Women's Studies
