Fully Online Women’s Studies Course

This course was developed by professors in the Department of World Languages and Cultures, both men and women, with the idea of presenting the roles, life, writing and contributions of women in a wide range of cultures. Professors who originally developed the course, from the French, Spanish, and German programs, not only co-taught the course, but personally translated many of the stories to English for the first time. Two of the women were also Women’s Studies professors. Outside professors in Vietnamese and English added to our cultural expertise. The professors have continued their research and publishing, some have retired, and new professors have begun to teach the course. This course was developed to also meet the basic concept of the Women’s Studies major, including the core courses and the Humanities concentration “Arts, Expression & Language,” of which this course is an important element.
