Women's Studies Minor

Created in 1994, the Women's Studies Program at Castleton State College offers courses across several subject areas. The emphasis is on encouraging students to think critically and re-examining history cross-culturally using a feminist perspective. The small class size in all Women's Studies courses fosters a learning environment that nurtures intelligent discussion and application of that knowledge to practical issues.


Renowned independent journalist Amy Goodman, host of Pacifica Radio's Democracy Now! delivered the keynote address at the Vermont State Women's Studies Conference hosted by Castleton State College, April 15, 2006. Winner of numerous awards, including the George M. Polk Award, Goodman is the author of The Exception to The Rulers.
