Requirements
"I was a teaching assistant for an introductory women's studies class, and any doubts that I had about the vital necessity of gender studies were erased by the experience. For many students, it was the first time they'd been asked to consider and reconsider ideas that they'd taken for granted about gender, race, class, sexual orientation, power, and privilege; it was amazing and energizing to watch students passionately discuss and challenge social inequalities. It was a great reminder as to why I majored in Women's Studies."
