As part of WKU’s continuing reorganization, the English Department became the administrative home of the Gender and Women’s Studies Program on July 1. Dr. Rob Hale, Head of English, said, “This is a homecoming of sorts. In the 1980s, our faculty were instrumental in founding the annual women’s studies conference that evolved into the Gender and Women’s Studies Program in the 1990s. Dr. Katie Ward, Dr. Karen Schneider, Dr. Dawn Hall, and the late Mary Ellen Miller are among many English Department faculty members who have made significant contributions to GWS over the years. We’re very excited to be affiliated with GWS!”
