Serious Students shouldn't take women's studies.
8/28/2006
Summer vacations no longer consist of lazy days on the beach or
income-generating jobs. Many college students now dedicate these months to
unpaid internships or meagerly compensated opportunities that supposedly provide
real-world experience and build impressive résumés. Ambitious undergrads heading
back to school should be just as careful in selecting their courses as they were
planning their summers. One tip for the serious student: Avoid women's
studies.-----

I am currently a sociology/labor studies major with a minor at women's
studies at a Canadian university. I can tell you that women's studies
does not teach you what to think it teaches you how to use theory to
critique ideology. I have in fact found it be very helpful when taken
in conjunction with other subjects. Unlike other subjects which teach
students to simply spit back data, women's studies encourages students
to think. In women's studies classes I have learned about economics,
the enviornement, sexuality, history, philosophy, and gender relations.
You will not find many departments in academia that are as
interdisciplinary as women's studies.
