Women's Studies Program
The Auburn University Women's Studies Program invites all instructors and graduate students with an interest in women's studies to contact Ruth Crocker, the director of the Women's Studies Program or Joyce Rothschild in the English department, so that you can be placed on the WSP listserv. The WSP sponsors lectures, brown bag lunches, and other activities throughout the year. The program also has funds available to help support graduate student and faculty travel to give papers at conferences on topics related to women's studies.
