Honors Projects

Many Women's Studies majors choose to complete an Honors project on a topic of their interest. Most or all of the work associated with an Honors project is done in the senior year, though it may be begun earlier, and culminates in a research or critical paper or its counterpart in the creative arts.

Other students choose to work on a special project or explore topics and materials that are not covered in regular coursework by enrolling in an independent study with a faculty member.

Here's a recent sampling of Honors projects completed by Women's Studies majors:

• Molly DiStefano '10: Examining Women's Roles in the Novles of a Senegalese author, Ken Bugul - Connecting Africana Studies, Women's' Studies and French and Francophone Studies
  Prof. Thelma Pinto - adviser
• Galina Mukomolova '09: Kin
  Prof. David Weiss - adviser
• Jennie A. Seidewand '09: Keep Your Coins, I Want Change:" An Art Activist Explores Public Peace Protest Art
  Prof. Betty Bayer - adviser
