UAA WOMEN'S STUDIES
|
History:
The Women's Studies Program at UAA was started in Spring 1989. It grew
out of a curriculum integration project that was launched in the late
1980s. The development of the Women's Studies Program was largely a grassroots
effort supported by faculty from all over the University. Originally the
Program was housed in CCCE, but in Fall 1993 it came under the jurisdiction
of the College of Arts and Sciences.
The Women's Studies Program offers students an interdisciplinary minor.
The strength of the Women's Studies Program comes from its 50-plus affiliated
faculty members who teach in disciplines including English, History, Sociology,
Nursing, Philosophy, Alaska Native Studies, Anthropology, Journalism,
Social Work, Languages, Math, Communication, Theater, Psychology, and
the Justice Center.
