Cool Classes - “Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Gender”

“Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Gender”

"This class aims to give Bi-Co students a chance to explore the intersection of gender, sexuality, race, class, religion, and embodiment in our time. Our focus is principally on the USA, though we make some forays into international conversations. We work to bring the personal into the classroom, and to take what we learn out into the world."— Visiting Assistant Professor of Writing and Coordinator of Gender and Sexuality Studies Anne Balay.

Our Cool Classes blog series highlights interesting, unusual, and unique courses that enrich the Haverford College experience.

International Students

An increasing number of international students are being drawn to Haverford by the promise of intellectual exploration, academic rigor, and close-knit community. Once here, they must also contend with unfamiliar food and strange American social customs, and a climate that may be way outside their comfort zone. A robust support program for students from abroad eases intercultural adjustment.
