Teaching
The Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies faculty is drawn from virtually every academic discipline represented on Richmond’s campus; consequently, teaching styles vary tremendously, and students have the opportunity to work with professors who best fit their own learning styles. All WGSS faculty encourage students to think critically and perform critical assessments of the world around them. All the department’s courses emphasize class discussion and promote active engagement with contemporary issues.
Over their course of study, students are encouraged and enabled to develop their own positions on current academic and social issues, to cultivate their own voices in their speaking and writing, and to test theoretical assumptions by applying them to real life situations.
