Women’s and Gender Studies
Women’s and Gender Studies Program
The Women’s and Gender Studies Program (WGST) is connected to the mission of Simpson College and its focus on issues of personal integrity, moral responsibility, social justice and citizenship. WGST is dedicated to engaging all students to develop an awareness of women’s contributions, concerns, perspectives, and theories across disciplines. WGST features College-wide programming and course work that supports a creative, diverse, and just community.
WGST includes both curricular and co-curricular initiatives that support and empower women’s voices. These include the Women’s Resource Center, Sophia, the annual Women in America lecture, Women’s History Month programming and the minor in Women’s and Gender Studies. We strive to ensure that no student graduates from Simpson without direct and regular contact with a wide range of women’s voices, issues, and perspectives.
The Women in America lecture for 2011 is Rhoda Janzen author of Mennonite in a Little Black Dress. The date of the lecture will be announced soon.
