Women’s Studies
The
Women’s Studies program is founded on United’s
long involvement with women’s issues in church and
society and our commitment to gender equality. Creating a place
to explore the great diversity of women’s experiences
as they inform contemporary religion, theology, and ministry
is the guiding vision of this program.
The
core of the Women’s Studies program is the concentration
in Women’s
Studies: Religion, Theology, Ministry within the
Master of Arts degree program which provides a rich combination
of academic coursework and a variety of forums for intellectual
and spiritual renewal. We focus on discovering the wholeness
of life and experience - on communal and individual transformation.
Ten women faculty representing five denominations offer courses
in their areas of expertise, along with feminist and womanist
theologians from other academic institutions who are invited
to teach courses in January or June.
The
annual Susan Draper
White Lectures are held each spring and are designed
to bring to United a nationally-known speaker on
feminist thought. |
