About These Sites
The list of internship sites presented below is suggestive, rather than comprehensive. Most of the sites are places where a Women Studies student has already done an internship. In that case, a review of the site is available in the 497 binder outside of the Women Studies Advisor's office. Where possible, we have provided a link to the site's home page or volunteer information page. Please see the Women Studies Advisor for more information.
Women & the Arts
