Introduction

Welcome to the 2003-2004 Harvard University Guide to Gender-Related Courses, Programs, and Other Resources. This year’s Guide was a collaborative effort between the Women and Public Policy Program (WAPPP) of the John F. Kennedy School of Government, and the Committee on Degrees in Women’s Studies (CWS) of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

This Guide was designed to help students, faculty, and other interested parties begin to identify programs, courses, and other resources that relate to the study of women and gender throughout the University. Most of the information in the Guide was provided directly by the individual programs via their web sites and/or the 2003-04 course catalogs. This is the fourth edition of this resource, and it is our hope that this guide will grow each year as more programs and courses related to the study of gender are created at Harvard University. We attempt to be as inclusive and as thorough as possible, but we are aware of the possibility that inaccuracies or omissions may inadvertently exist. It is also important to note that some schools only provide partial spring course listings. Please contact the schools or programs directly for complete course listings and cross–registration guidelines. Any changes or additions should be brought to the attention of the Women and Public Policy Program (617-495-8756, wappp@harvard.edu) or the Committee on Degrees in Women’s Studies (617-495-9199, womenstu@fas.harvard.edu)

Thank you,

Note: Courses in the Guide were designated “of primary interest” or “of related interest” based on the course descriptions in the 2003-04 course catalogs for each school. Primary interest courses focus predominantly on the study of women and gender, while those of related interest may only have one component listed in the description that addresses the study of gender. Occasionally, the designation was not exact and a subjective decision was made during editing as to which category a course was assigned. Course descriptions and schedules can be found in the course catalogs, or on the course catalog web sites listed with each program. Please direct any questions to WAPPP or CWS.
