Women's Studies Program

The main goal of Women's Studies at Rhode Island College is to discover and communicate new knowledge about women, to reexamine and reinterpret existing knowledge about women, and to synthesize and intergrate this understanding into the tradition disciplines. Students gain an understanding of and respect for difference in their lives as they encounter issues of gender, age, ability, class, ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation, and national origin in the classroom and in their curriculum.
