Women’s Studies students have conducted research on a variety of gender topics, including a comparison of breast cancer rates for women in different countries and environments.

Women’s Studies students are actively engaged in the community and the world at large. They take part in many service-learning projects throughout the year, and many participate in the groups Sisters for Social Justice and Brothers for Social Justice. Two ecofeminism projects recently initiated by students include a recycling program in Kenya and a community garden in the Twin Cities.
