About Us
Each year, the Women's Studies and Gender Studies Program chooses a theme around which it structures its major speakers and supporting events. The 2009-2010 academic yearmarks our 30th year at Loyola. Therefore, our theme this year will be "Celebrating the Past, Looking to the Future: 30 Years of Women's Studies at Loyola University".
Women's Studies and Gender Studies programming is not limited to this theme, however, and we are hosting as well as co-sponsoring a number of other events on campus this Fall. Please consult our event calendar for more information.The staff of the Women's Studies Program includes our Director, Dr. Betsy Jones Hemenway, a professor in the History Department; our Graduate Program Director is Dr. Prudence Moylan, from the History Department; and this year our Graduate Assistant is Jacqui Scott, who is working on her MA in Women's Studies and Masters in Social Work. We are working together to offer a wide range of classes in Women's Studies and Gender Studies for both our undergraduates and Master's level students, and to help foster discussion across campus on issues relating to gender and equality.
