Students in the program are strongly urged to combine feminist theory with practical applications of their scholarship. The Women's Studies Program strives for a broad and complex understanding of the female experience in a global context.<\/p>\n<p>Trinity has been committed to the advancement of women since its founding. The university's general education curriculum expresses this commitment and emphasizes the value of an interdisciplinary, collaborative education. Using cross-cultural and multi-racial perspectives, the Women's Studies Program explores women's lives, labor, and arts; it examines the politics of gender, and it studies the history of gender roles as well as representations of those roles in different media. Focusing on the interaction of class, race, gender, and sexuality, it analyzes the relations of power in various cultures, and it provides students with a basic structure of ideas, a framework for analyzing the fundamental shift in understanding arising from a systematic retrieval of history and from women's changing awareness; the program also investigates strategies for social change.<\/p>\n<p>The program offers a minor in women's studies to students in the College of Arts and Sciences and supports all of Trinity's undergraduate majors as well as individualized and interdisciplinary majors. Courses that meet general education requirements may also count toward the minor. The introductory course should be taken in the spring of the student's second year or the fall of the third year.<\/p>\n<p>The Women's Studies curriculum offers students skills such as critical thinking, writing, research, and social activism. Students will find these skills are necessary for a wide range of academic disciplines. A minor in Women's Studies prepares students for careers in many fields, including research, policy, government and nonprofit agencies, publishing, international affairs, education, and advocacy.<\/p>\n<span id=\"Minor_Requirements\"><h2><a class=\"anchorGlyph\" name=\"requirements\"><\/a>Minor Requirements<\/h2><\/span>\n<p><strong>Required Courses (6 credits)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>BOTH of the following courses:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >WST 240<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >WST 440<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Elective Courses (12 credits)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TWO courses chosen from among:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >WST 250<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >WST 301<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >WST 368<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >WST 369<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >WST 400<\/span><\/p>\n<p>TWO courses chosen from among:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >COM 388<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >COM 450<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >ECON 223<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >ENGL 277<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >ENGL 371<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >ENGL 373<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >ENGL 377<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >ENGL 378<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >ENGL 434<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >ENGL 435<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >ENGL 477<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >FNAR 247<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >FNAR 321<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >HIS 245<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >HIS 344A<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >HIS 393<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >HUMR 301<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >PHIL 237<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >POLS 211<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >POLS 299<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >PSYC 161<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >PSYC 261<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >SOCY 333<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >SOCY 341<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"\" title=\"NO MATCHING EVENT ID FOUND IN DATABASE\" >RST 225<\/span><\/p>\n<p>* Other courses may be approved by the Program Chair.
