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.
