The Women's Studies Program
at Oberlin College
Women's Studies is a interdisciplinary program
focusing on feminist analyses of the ways in which race, class,
gender, and sexuality inform women's lives. Courses emphasize women's
movements, agency, and forms of resistance at the analytical and
practical levels and include scholarship by and about women of
different racial, ethnic and class backgrounds, and sexual
identities. Women's Studies courses often involve the investigation
of materials previously neglected by scholars and new methodological
amd critical approaches to materials customarily treated in other
ways. Such courses may as a result propose revisions in the content,
methods, and assumptions of particular disciplines in light of recent
feminist scholarship.
