WMST 490 – Senior Capstone in Women’s & Gender Studies
The capstone is meant to help students synthesize what they’ve learned throughout their work toward the degree. In the Women’s & Gender Studies capstone, we typically work as a class or in small groups on a research project that is designed to bring together and expand our knowledge in our field in some pragmatic, tangible way, to create something new.
