Gender and Feminist Studies - Pitzer College

Gender and Feminist Studies from Pitzer College is a Campus Bachelor Women's Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. Scholarship on women addresses three kinds of pressing intellectual needs. The first is to provide more information about women\\\'s lives and contributions. The second is for the revision of existing theory that claims to speak for all human beings while it has been based almost exclusively on the experience of men. The third is for the integration of perspectives shaped by sensitivity to race, class, ethno-national origin, and sexual orientation within the study of gender. Courses in Gender and Feminist Studies focus on the relations of power that have produced inequalities between genders. We consider gender inequality a human construction subject to change rather than an innate, ordained condition. In the classroom and in research, our critical perspective challenges conventional concepts and methods of analysis and encourages the formulation of new paradigms of teaching, learning, and research that reflect the diversity of women\\\'s experience. Pitzer offers a major and a minor in Gender and Feminist Studies and combined majors with other disciplines in the social sciences, in the humanities and fine arts, in the natural sciences, as well as in interdisciplinary subjects, including Asian American, Black, and Chicana Studies .
