Women's and
Gender Studies Program

The Joint M.A. Experience

"What has been most inspiring to me is the insistence on interdisciplinary dialogue among the various departments that participate in the Joint M.A. program. Gender, after all, is a cultural construct that can and must be approached from a diversity of venues to grasp its complex workings. While my particular set of research questions focuses on hermeneutic and representational practices, the opportunity to think beyond disciplinary boundaries has profoundly enriched my work."

- Ben De Witte, M.A. '09
Joint M.A. in Women's and Gender Studies and English and American Literature
