This paper discusses the teaching of women and gender studies courses in general education in Taiwan. Based on interview data with twelve university professors who taught or teach Women and Gender Studies courses, the authors provide an in-depth analysis on issues involved in the teaching process, such as the naming and organization of the courses and the gender politics in classrooms. Although aimed at breaking down boundaries between disciplines, general education's insignificant mandatory credits render this goal a mission impossible. Curiously, though the general education requirement is often neglected and marginalized, it actually provides a capacious developmental opportunity and a conduit for relating Women and Gender Studies to new disciplines. On the other hand, in its interdisciplinary and critical nature, and its emphasis on students' subjectivity and unison of experience and knowledge, women and gender studies' courses nicely serve the goals of general education.
