New Class: Feminist Futures/Professional Development

“What can you do with a BA in Women’s Studies?” Dr. Alyssa Zucker and Center graduate student Sky Martin are excited to work with students to answer this question. Starting in spring 2021,
we will be offering a new one-credit course called Feminist Futures/Professional Development. Using the textbook Transforming Scholarship: Why Women’s and Gender Studies Students Are Changing Themselves and the World, this class will help students
connect their undergraduate degree to meaningful postgraduate employment and/or advanced study. Students will also develop elevator pitches, cover letters, and résumés, and will have the opportunity for peer and instructor feedback on these portfolio items. “What can you do with a BA in Women’s Studies?” Plenty! With a women’s studies education you gain a deep understanding of gender, race, sexuality, and other systems of power, how they operate, and how to transform them to promote liberation, justice, and feminist futures!
