The mission of the Gender and Women's Studies program at AASU is to offer an interdisciplinary course of study that integrates areas as diverse as sociology, political science, literature, history, art, health, education, economics, and psychology. We seek to present the AASU community with opportunities to examine gender issues and issues of concern to women through these disciplines. We strive to engage students in the discovery and production of knowledge that emerges from the application of feminist pedagogy to the study of history, culture, and society. We also seek to connect our scholarly and academic work with the social and political world outside the university and to educate students about the links among research, teaching, and activism.
