Graduate Courses Offered by Feminist Studies Affiliated Faculty  
The courses taught by the Affiliated Faculty will be reviewed annually by the Graduate Director in Feminist Studies and, in consultation with the Affiliated and FMST faculty, the Department will update and augment this list as new courses become available, older ones cease to be taught, and new faculty affiliate with the department, or retire from their own departments.  This has been the longstanding practice of the Feminist Studies Department since implementing the Designated Emphasis program in 1992.
