The Women&#8217;s Action Council (WAC) is the official student organization partnered with the Women&#8217;s Center. They are dedicated to advocating for women on the UTC campus and the Chattanooga community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got involved and I realized that I didn\u2019t know what I needed to know to pursue real social justice. So I took an intro class in Women\u2019s Studies to learn about what I was doing. Then I absolutely fell in love with the course, with the department, and the major. Women\u2019s studies is very concerned with bridging the gap between activism and academia and making what you learn so valuable in your everyday life,\u201d says Cottle<\/p>\n<p>She is still involved in the WAC, the External Affairs Committee, and is currently the President of Spectrum, UTC\u2019s Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Heterosexual Alliance. She is also participating in Elect Her, a series of training sessions aimed at providing female students with the resources to be elected to student government as a way to advance women\u2019s role in politics.<\/p>\n<p>Sania Khan is a junior majoring in both Women\u2019s Studies and Psychology. Khan, whose parents are from Pakistan, is particularly interested in the global aspects of Women\u2019s Studies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWomen\u2019s studies appeals to me because of the global impact,\u201d says Khan. \u201cI believe that every feminist has a reason that they are fighting for the rights of women and mine is for the rights of women internationally. It\u2019s all about helping people. There\u2019s so much hate in the world, which is why I also want to look at it from a psychological point of view, to help end that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Khan is a photographer-activist who has collaborated with the Women&#8217;s Center and the Partnership for Families, Children, and Adults on feminist projects. She had a photography exhibit of domestic assault and sexual violence survivors during the Take Back The Night event.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got to meet survivors and it related to both of my majors. It was a life-changing experience,\u201d says Khan. \u201cMy pictures were then posted in the courthouse and the Mayor got to see them, which was awesome. I\u2019ll be doing another exhibit of victims of self-harm for an event called Feel Good Naked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Khan is involved in WAC; she is the president of Omega Phi Alpha, a service sorority; and she is the Connection Development and Art Chair of Women Investing in Student Empowerment (WISE). She also volunteers with organizations like the Signal Centers and the Partnership.<\/p>\n<p>This scholarship was named for Dr. Felicia Sturzer, the founding coordinator of the UTC Women\u2019s Studies Program who retired in May 2013 after 35 years teaching at our University. An anonymous donor hoped to honor Sturzer while also encouraging academic achievement in the Women\u2019s Studies Program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s important to support our majors as much as possible and make sure they have the resources to finish their education,\u201d says Noe. &#8220;Both Kaitlin and Sania are ideal recipients of the Felicia Sturzer Scholarship. I have taught both students, and they are mind-blowingly awesome, not only in terms of their academic achievement but also in terms of their involvement in and commitment to feminist activism in the UTC and Chattanooga communities,\u201d says Noe.<\/p>\n<p>UTC provides both a major and a minor in Women\u2019s Studies, designed to equip students to understand women\u2019s problems, analyze them from the perspective of several disciplines, and develop research-based solutions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWomen\u2019s Studies didn\u2019t originate in the ivory tower, it originated in the streets. It originated in the 1970\u2019s, during the Women\u2019s Liberation Movement. It was women saying, \u2018We\u2019ve got a problem here &#8211; women are oppressed. How do we find research-based solutions to these problems?\u2019\u201d says Noe. \u201cIt\u2019s important because it is grounded in the here and now. It confronts real world situations such as sex trafficking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The interdisciplinary Women\u2019s Studies Program combines courses that explore how power relations are gendered and complicated by issues of race, class, and sexual orientation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWomen\u2019s Studies focuses heavily on difference and intersection. We recognize that oppression is multifaceted. We talk about not only women, but also gender, race, class, etc,\u201d says Noe.<\/p>\n<p>These issues are explored from disciplinary perspectives such as history, political science, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, psychology, and communication.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d say we have ten to fifteen different departments in the University that offer Women\u2019s Studies courses,\u201d says Noe.<\/p>\n<p>Students are taught to think analytically, read critically, argue cogently, and speak eloquently about gender-related issues across the disciplines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the concept of deep, multi-disciplinary learning that Women\u2019s Studies offers is very important,\u201d says Noe.<\/p>\n<p>This semester, the Women\u2019s Studies Program is offering thirteen class sections including three new classes: History of Modern Sexuality in America; Fiction, Fashion, and Feminism; and Women in Buddhism.<\/p>\n<p>The Women\u2019s Studies Department hosts lecture series, organizes awareness events, and is involved with community organizations such as Girls Inc. and the Partnership for Families, Children, and Adults.<\/p>\n<p>In celebration of Women\u2019s History Month in March, the Women\u2019s Studies Department is partnering with the Women\u2019s Center, Student Development, Student Health Services, the Counseling and Personal Development Center, and the Campus Activities Board to bring in Kjerstin Gruys as a speaker. Gruyes lived for a year without mirrors and wrote a memoir called <i>Mirror Mirror Off The Wall<\/i>.
