The Graduate Program in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has an
assistantship in Women’s Studies, tenurable 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 Women’s Studies and to
recognize the strength of the Graduate Divisions’s faculty resources in Women’s
Studies across the humanities and social sciences. Because the 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 Women’s
Studies Community.
Application Process: Applicants must apply directly to the 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 Women’s Studies and invite to apply for the Assistantship.
Applications: Students must submit to the 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
resumé; a letter of recommendation written by someone knowledgeable about the
applicant’s interest in Women’s Studies and Gender; and a single-spaced one page
essay (c. 500 words) discussing the intellectual, spiritual, social, and
political dimensions of your commitment to Women’s Studies.
