Student Organizations
The women's studies program at Buena Vista University seeks to enable students to develop an understanding of women in past, present, and future society. It focuses on women's experiences and perspectives, exploring the forgotten, ignored, or suppressed contributions of women to knowledge, history, and culture. The program creates a new dimension in the education of women and men, a dimension with implications that go well beyond the walls of the University.
The program is interdisciplinary. Courses may be offered across all divisions of the University and are chosen from among existing courses with subject matter appropriate to the area. They also include new, experimental courses developed by faculty who are themselves exploring the contributions of women. The experiences of women and men are explored through these courses with respect to social, psychological, cultural, and sexual biological factors influencing the construction and representation of gender.
