On-Line Course Synopsis Handbook

ACES Schedule of Courses

As one of Duke University's largest interdisciplinary programs, Women's Studies regularly creates a list each semester of Recommended Courses that count toward a major or minor in Women's Studies. Each of these courses offers students significant opportunities to engage with feminist scholarship and/or treat women, gender and sexualities as a primary topic of investigation. If you are taking a course that you feel should be on this list, please contact Lillian P. Spiller at 684-3770.
