This minor provides students with an interdisciplinary education in issues central to Feminist Philosophy, which argues that oppression and privilege, conceptions of gender, and women's lives deserve philosophical consideration and may change the way that we understand philosophical problems.  The foundation of students' work for this minor will be Introduction to Women's Studies (Women's Studies), Feminist Philosophy (Philosophy) and Feminist Theory (Women's Studies).  Students will gain an understanding of issues related to gender, race, class and sexuality through the lens of work in ethics, political philosophy, philosophy of science, bioethics, and the history of philosophy, among others.  Students will enrich their core studies through coursework in other areas across the university, including but not limited to courses in Chicano Studies and Sociology.

To complete a minor in Feminist Philosophy, students must earn 18 hours in courses approved for this minor.  This minor is also available under the Women's Studies program.
