Conference on Women and Girls in Georgia October 24-26, 2008
Paul D. Coverdell Center
Athens, GA
This year's theme: Health & Well-Being
The University of Georgia Institute
for Women’s Studies provides a feminist interdisciplinary perspective
on women and gender. Administratively a program in the Franklin
College of Arts and Sciences, Women’s Studies cooperates
with departments of all schools and colleges of the University in
developing its curriculum and programming.
Traditional academic disciplines have devoted little systematic attention
to issues of gender, race, class, and sexuality. In the past 30 years,
feminist scholars have contributed to the reinterpretation of existing
data and to the presentation of new knowledge about the diversity
of women’s experiences. Through course work and outreach, the
Institute for Women’s Studies offers students an opportunity
to explore women’s lives in global and multicultural contexts.
