Students: ????- explore how women's studies treats women's issues in different disciplines, such as literature studies, political science, sociology, communications, philosophy, biology etc. ????- develop their understanding of these issues from an interdisciplinary perspective (i.e., one that takes into account and sees the interconnections between this array of disciplines). show our students the real-life implications of their academic engagement.
