Awareness/Action Project
Students minoring in Women’s & Gender Studies will be required to engage in an Awareness/Action Project to complete the minor. This may be done in one of two ways:
- Each course offering in the Women’s & Gender Studies Program outlines an experiential/immersion component. When appropriate women and gender studies students may focus that activity on issues relevant to the minor.
- In consultation with the Women’s & Gender Studies Coordinator and appropriate W&GS faculty, students can choose to do an independent Awareness/Action project. Possibilities for these projects may include:
- presentation of research open to the community, including presenting at Spotlight on Students;
- presentation of women’s contributions to history and culture during Women’s History Month;
- internships or community service with organizations committed to working for gender equality or dealing with issues of domestic/sexual violence locally, nationally, globally;
- organizing community round table discussions relevant to the course of study in minor;
- working with student organizations such as SOUP or Women’s Global Network to raise visibility and awareness of their goals, and assist in organizing community events.
- working with appropriate campus groups and programs to address enhancing campus climate in relation to sex and gender.
