One of the oldest Women's Studies doctoral programs in the country, the Emory Department of Women's Studies supports feminist teaching and scholarship concerning women and gender. It promotes comparative perspectives on women's studies through interdisciplinary research grounded in careful training in relevant traditional disciplines and research methods.
Our department faculty have expertise in areas of women's studies connected to literature, cultural studies, history, sociology, anthropology, political science, and philosophy. Associated faculty in other departments include scholars in English, Comparative Literature, the Institute for Liberal Arts, Film Studies, Religion, Anthropology, French, Art History, the Graduate Division of Religion, Philosophy, Spanish and Portuguese, Psychology, the School of Public Health, and the School of Law. In addition to rigorous interdisciplinary course work and writing, graduate students train in feminist pedagogies and receive opportunities to teach in our department. Please consult Completed Dissertations for examples of the interdisciplinary work supported by Women’s Studies. Our program allows for a great deal of flexibility in shaping a student's curriculum.
