Since 1974, the Women and Gender Studies Program at the University of Colorado in Boulder has offered an interdisciplinary curriculum encompassing the social sciences and the humanities. Courses reflect the new scholarship on women: they focus on the interface of the public and private spheres of women's lives; on the intersection of gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, nation and class; and on feminist studies of gender identity and theories of inequality. The curriculum is multifaceted, offering courses on U.S. women of color, women and development as well as global feminism. The program houses a reading library in the Hazel Gates Woodruff Cottage and sponsors colloquia, workshops, and other cultural and educational events.
