Women's and Gender Studies on EAP

“It would be virtually impossible to study
abroad and not experience a fascinating diversity of perspectives
on women and gender. Even one’s own society and culture come
into new focus when seen from points elsewhere. As a scholar of
gender, media, and culture—and two-time EAP participant—I
enthusiastically recommend this program as a way of engaging with
the multiple, changing relationships among gender, sexuality, and
media in an increasingly transnational world.”

EAP programs allow you to observe how fundamental issues of sex and
gender play out in other countries. Gain direct experience with another
culture’s gender norms and valuable insights into the way others,
particularly those in non-Western countries, regard the US women’s
movement and modes of feminist scholarship. At the same time, you can
broaden your perspective on transnational feminist movements and the role
of women in development. Any perspective on gender will be enhanced by
study abroad on EAP.
