Coinciding with Women\u2019s History Month, UWM\u2019s Women\u2019s Studies Program is celebrating its 40th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversary this spring. (Download the anniversary poster.<\/a>)<\/p>\n

\"Women's-Studies2\"<\/a>UWM was the first campus in the UW System to initiate a Women’s Studies program in 1974. Over the years, the program has grown from its initial offerings of an undergraduate and graduate certificate to today where students have numerous options including an undergraduate major and minor, a Masters degree, graduate-level certificate, and two joint Masters programs with Library and Information Studies and with Social Work.<\/p>\n

Currently, Women\u2019s Studies offers more than 100 core and cross-listed courses drawn from over thirty departments on campus taught by more than 90 affiliated faculty and staff members. Almost 3,000 students enroll in Women’s Studies courses each year.<\/p>\n

The program emphasizes global feminisms and transnational issues reflecting our faculty\u2019s research interests in gender in China and Asia broadly, gender in Islam and Islamic feminism, women\/gender and imperialism, women\u2019s social movements, and feminist theories of autonomy and agency.<\/p>\n

Anniversary events include a Student Poster Exhibition on March 6<\/strong>, 2014, highlighting 40 years of feminist activism and scholarship at UWM and in the surrounding Milwaukee community. This exhibition is a joint effort between instructors and students in Introduction to Women\u2019s Studies and staff in the Golda Meir Library Archives and Special Collections.<\/p>\n
