URI Department of Gender and Women's Studies

URI Department of Gender and Women's Studies Sustain a world where human diversity, nature, and spirituality is equally valued and supported.

The discipline of Women's Studies has a vision of a world free from sexism. By necessity, fGender and reedom from sexism must include a commitment to freedom from national chauvinism; class, ethnic, racial, and heterosexual bias; economic exploitation; religious persecution; ageism; and ableism. Women's studies seeks to identify, understand, and challenge ideologies and institutions that knowingly

or unknowingly oppress and exploit others, or deny fundamental human rights. Thus, women's studies envision a world in which all persons can develop their fullest potential. Women's studies use feminist and interdisciplinary methods to teach, conduct research, and expand existing bodies of knowledge. Critical thinking, the production of theory, and the assumption of community and global responsibility are integral to these methods. We are committed to deliberative processes that promote open expression and collaboration. Understanding the interrelationship between the personal and political, we support and promote feminist teaching, learning, research, scholarship, creative activity, and professional and community service.
