Knowledge and Power: Issues in Women's Leadership
This required course at Douglass introduces you to foundational concepts in understanding the status of women, literature, and leadership. Participate in critical conversations, chart out a 4 year academic plan, meet with powerful feminist leaders from around the world, and learn to write and present academic research. Discuss systems of power, prepare for the diverse global workforce, and connect to Douglass programs and resources.
"Knowledge and Power helps us step out of our comfort zone and address important societal issues together. In a way, I consider the course to be about using our knowledge to supplement the power of our voices.”
