Women's Studies is a rapidly growing academic field. Women's Studies
has the dual purpose of recognizing the experiences and contributions
of women in society and of bringing women more fully into college curriculum.
It allows students to become acquainted with the extensive research
about women, by women, and for women.
Through Women's Studies courses, students explore diversity
among women and discover how gender is only part of a person's complex
identity, which is also shaped by race, class, ethnicity, nationality,
sexual orientation, and age. The EKU Women's Studies Program was established
in 1996-97.
