Welcome to Women's Studies!
Women’s Studies is a discipline; it is also a space where disciplines converge and are questioned. Women's Studies students engage in the world and seek to make a difference. Current and former students attributed much of their growth and development while at Hope College directly to their experiences in women’s studies. Hope has a strong program that provides an institutional “home” for over 30 majors and minors and 40+ faculty affiliated with the program. The most honest and important praise comes from our students. As a recent graduate told us, "Continue in faith that you’re doing good work, making tremendous change in your students’ lives, and creating a beautiful, saving, caring place on Hope’s campus… You’ve changed, challenged, rescued, delighted, and believed in me, and I will carry myself differently, with more confidence in the world because of you." Women's Studies is liberal arts at its best. It is more than a classroom education; Women's Studies is about personal and intellectual growth. Students are encouraged to question and learn from one another thereby empowering them to be agents of social justice. Many opportunities exist for students that wish to explore a Women's Studies major or minor. We trust that you will find, as previous students have discovered, that Women's Studies becomes much more than an academic discipline. It evolves into an integral and transforming part of your education. Note: Dr. Dandavati will no longer be teaching Global Feminisms this fall. The class will be offered the spring of 2010 upon her return as a visiting professor in Japan. Any student with advising questions is encouraged to contact Dr. Kipp who is the acting director for the fall semester 2009. Women's Studies Honor Society - Beta Epsilon Chapter
