Statement from Dr. Randall: Equity and equality are two concepts that have inspired my interest and research in Women's Studies. As a sociologist, I am concerned about stratification's effects. As a mother of four daughters, I am also attuned to and concerned about societal views of gender. Feminism is a powerful analytical perspective as well as a social movement.

Statement from Dr. Thomas: I was the first member of the Wingate faculty to propose, get approval for, and then teach a Women's Studies course, English 315, Women in Literature.  I try to offer this course at least once a year because I believe every human being has the right to fulfill her/his potential unimpeded by unfair stereotypes or limiting societal biases.  I am also committed to building female students' self-esteem because societal attitudes can be very hard on them. 

"No one can make you feel inferior without your own consent." -Eleanor Roosevelt
