An academic program generating, supporting, and sharing research on women and gender

The Women's Studies Program at Appalachian State University was founded in 1976 -- making it the second oldest program in North Carolina. A member of the National Women's Studies Association, our Women's Studies Program provides academic leadership to the community for the study of women, women's and gender issues, and gender/feminist/womanist theories.
