Interdisciplinary Studies
College of Humanities and Social Sciences

At its degree celebrations, the College of Humanities and Social Sciences sends off its doctors, masters, and bachelors with an enthusiastic salute.

Following a national search, the college is pleased to announce that Ann Ardis will serve as its next dean. Her term will begin on August 1, 2018.

Angela Hattery, director of Mason’s Women and Gender Studies Program, is the 2018 recipient of the United Bank Presidential Medal for Faculty Excellence in Diversity and Inclusion. The college is grateful to her work on behalf of all of Mason’s students.

"Women and Gender Studies' courses have given me the tools and vocabulary that I need in order to be a feminist scholar. Feminist Theory with Dr. Rachel Lewis helped expose me to the foundational tools of feminist scholarship and Feminist Research Methods with Dr. Angela Hattery has allowed me to learn how to apply theory into practice."
