What is Women's Studies?
Women's studies at UNT promotes the
academic study of women's achievements, roles, and experiences,
both historically and across cultures. This multi-disciplinary
program fosters understanding of the diverse realities of
women's lives by encouraging teaching and research about the
ways in which class, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and
age shape female experiences. Courses in women's studies offer
valuable perspectives about women in the family and at work, in
literature, in politics, in Western thought, and in world
cultures.
Currently, Women's Studies offers an undergraduate minor and an
interdisciplinary master's degree.

The Reader
by Bernard Schlink

Thursday, Sept. 17, 7:00 pm
@ Barnes and Noble
“The Reader is a brief tale
about sex, love, reading and shame in postwar Germany. Michael
Berg is 15 when he begins an affair with Hanna, an enigmatic
older woman. When she disappears one day, he expects never to
see her again. But, to his horror, he does. Hanna is a defendant
in a trial related to Germany’s Nazi past, and it soon becomes
clear that she is guilty of an unspeakable crime. As Michael
follows the trial, he struggles with an overwhelming question:
what should his generation do with its knowledge of the
Holocaust?”
