Women's Studies
Founded in 1991, Women's Studies is one of the first interdisciplinary programs at William & Mary, offering both a major and a minor. We have four core faculty and dozens of affiliated faculty from a range of departments and schools.
The Women's Studies program also features a significant invited lecturer each spring for the Annual Minnie Braithwaite Lecture. And we co-sponsor a monthly brownbag series with Africana Studies, in which a faculty member or student shares his or her research in a friendly, informal setting. The program also has funds to support events on campus.
Around twenty students each year graduate from William & Mary with a BA in Women's Studies, and they go on to careers in non-profits, law, government, teaching, and academia.
