Women’s Studies

The Women’s Studies Program at Susquehanna University is both multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary. It is based on feminist scholarship within traditional disciplines and outside the framework of any single discipline. Women’s studies recognizes gender as a significant category of analysis.  The program analyzes the intersections of gender with other social institutions, such as class, ethnicity, nationality, race, religion, and sexual orientation. The program helps students discover and explore the diverse realities of women's lives, while also striving to understand the impact of cultural attitudes and social structures on both women's and men's experiences.
