Strong women's studies programs in the US? |
|
It seems most universities offer a minor in women's studies to those enrolled in its graduate professional programs. Anyone aware of ones w/particularly strong faculty/research going on? Is a doctorate in women's studies available anywhere, or do people usually pursue as much through English/sociology/anthropology departments?

Good to see the subject proliferating at colleges, too, though. :hi:

5. Just checked out its website |
|
Impressive WS course listing, and a social work school (which is my primary interest, though I may wind up doing sociology instead).
Thanks.

10 FT faculty members, 65 adjunct faculty and 75 courses, and active theory development.
That's what I'm talking about. Bless you for this link.
On edit: I'm getting chills reading its pages. It says it's one of 10 free-standing WS departments in the country. Most people pursue terminal master's. If it turns out Washington has a social work school, relocation might be worth looking into (I'm now in DC).

It's my alma mater and I took a few Women Studies classes while I was there (in the '80s). :hi:

I think was the first University in the U.S. to have a women's studies program. I'm not sure which school the program falls under there--I want to say Letters and Science, but not positive. I enjoyed the few classes I took in the subject when I was there, though I don't have a great understanding of how strong the program itself is. It might be worth a visit to their website or a phone call to them at least.

It's also got one of the best Buddhist studies programs in the country. I'll definitely check this out. Thanks much. :D

7. Really? I didn't know that. |
|
Even better. Madison is a nice little town to be in for a little while too--beautiful campus. Good luck to you where ever you end up.

10. I was a religious studies major |
|
undergrad and learned then that 80% of Buddhist studies professors out there are Wisconsin grads. I think Uma Thurman's dad, Robert, who teaches Tibetan studies at Columbia, is an alumnus, too.

I only went there for a few years (English major) then transferred somewhere else so I don't know as much about the many things U.W. Madison is famous for as I could. Thanks for giving me some new information.
