Haskell, M. 1974. Mottram, J. November 23, 2000. Visual pleasure in narrative cinema. The developing power and influence of women in television and film. The Women's Studies Program at Lehman College is offered as a minor field and is an option for students majoring in any discipline.
Courses are open to all interested students.
Faculty are drawn from a number of different departments within the College. Integrating a wide array of courses from the humanities and social sciences, the program focuses on the histories and situations of women in different cultures, and on the ways in which social and economic factors have affected women's lives. As a result, students augment skills and knowledge acquired in other disciplines, and gain insight into issues related to gender that will be especially useful for careers in human services, health, education, and public policy advocacy.
