Founded in 1972, as the second Women’s Studies Department in the US, WSU’s Department has recently been revised to reflect changes in Women’s Studies’ academic field as reflected in its new name, Women’s, Ethnicity, and Intersectional Studies, which acknowledges the variety of political forces - ethnicity, race, gender, sexuality, class, and ability - and how they may intersect in different contexts.
