The Elihu Root Peace Fund Visiting Professor of Women's Studies is an endowed professorship that brings a noted teacher and scholar to campus each year to join the women’s studies program. Recent visiting professors include Minnie Bruce Pratt, Chandra Talpade Mohanty and Gita Rajan.
The larger Hamilton community provides many resources valuable to the women's studies program. The Arthur Levitt Public Affairs Center provides students with opportunities for civic engagement through a Community Outreach Office, service learning projects, and faculty-student collaboration in community based research. Burke Library provides a growing range of books, journals and video related to women’s studies; the library also houses Hamilton's Multimedia Presentation Center, a state-of-the-art media and computer facility that all students may use to develop presentations, performances and other projects.
Women's studies at Hamilton is an interdisciplinary program, grounded in a wide range of fields and approaches. This broad focus challenges students to move beyond abstract and personal arguments and to think critically about the economic, educational, artistic, scientific, legal and policy implications of gender and class roles. The accomplished women's studies faculty includes a Carnegie Foundation New York State Teacher of the Year and a recipient of the College's prestigious Samuel and Helen Lang Prize for Excellence in Teaching.
As an interdisciplinary program, women's studies offers a full range of courses at every level: introductory surveys; intermediate courses in feminist history, theory, practice and philosophy; and advanced seminars that focus on women and race, class, gender, sexuality, education, arts, science, religion, law and public policy. Classes are small and feature intensive student-faculty interaction.
The broad appeal, growing importance and versatile range of women's studies make it a valuable adjunct to other disciplines as well as a popular concentration. Students may major or minor in women's studies; they may combine it with another discipline to create their own interdisciplinary major; or they may work toward a double major. Students who don’t wish to major or minor in the field still find that introductory and intermediate women's studies courses provide useful tools to re-evaluate and gain perspective on traditional disciplines.
Women's studies graduates make excellent use of their Hamilton degrees by successfully entering careers and graduate study in a wide range of fields, including social work, education, public policy, law, science, medicine, art and business.
