The major provides in-depth training in women's and gender history across national contexts and chronologies, including a range of courses from introductory readings to colloquia in feminist theory and advanced research seminars. Course requirements for the major include: Problems and Directed Readings in Women's and Gender history, one topical colloquium, one course on feminist theory (which can either be a History course or an acceptable graduate course from another Rutgers department, such as Women's and Gender Studies, English, or Political Science), and a two-semester research seminar in Women's and Gender History. The topical colloquia and PDR are specifically cross-national and/or cross-chronological. Both offer comparative perspectives which encourage students to explore new approaches to women's and gender history and introduce them to a range of methodologies and theoretical perspectives. The research seminar provides students with the opportunity to pursue in depth primary research early in their graduate career.
