Welcome to Women's Studies
Women's Studies introduces students to the methods, findings and ideas which comprise contemporary feminism. As an interdisciplinary area of study Women's Studies uses an Australian focus to examine the role of gender in past and present society and culture, and uses an international focus to address issues in feminist theory and gender relations in developing societies.
