The Graduate Program in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has an
assistantship in Gender and Women’s Studies, which is held for two years by a student admitted
to the Master’s program in one of the following departments or programs:
The Assistantship is designed to attract to the Graduate Division of Liberal
Arts and Sciences outstanding students committed to Gender and Women’s Studies and to
recognize the strength of the Graduate Division’s faculty resources in Gender
and Women’s
Studies across the humanities and social sciences. Because the Gender and Women’s Studies
program at Villanova University emphasizes the links between theory and
practice, academic learning and its application, we expect the holder of the
assistantship to be a knowledgeable and active participant in the Gender and Women’s
Studies community.
Application Process
Applicants must apply directly to the Gender
and Women’s
Studies Assistantship Selection Committee any time after applying for admission
to the Graduate School, until March 1, 2008. The Selection Committee will only
review applications submitted by candidates already admitted to the Graduate
School. Graduate Directors or Chairs of individual departments and programs are
also encouraged to identify outstanding applicants with demonstrated interest in
and commitment to Gender and Women’s Studies and invite to apply for the Assistantship. Applications
Students must submit to the Gender and Women’s Studies Assistantship
Selection Committee copies of all materials submitted to Graduate Studies and to
the individual department or program. In addition, applicants must submit a
résumé; a letter of recommendation written by someone knowledgeable about the
applicant’s interest in Gender and Women’s Studies; and a single-spaced one page
essay (c. 500 words) discussing the intellectual, spiritual, social, and
