About

The Women's, Gender & Sexuality Studies Program brings together scholars, students, and activists across disciplines to study how gender, sexuality, race, disability, and citizenship shape our lives—and how we can build a more just world. Our courses, research, and public programming explore these questions across cultures and historical periods, training students to think critically about inequality and to act on what they learn.

At a time when gender and sexuality studies programs across the country are being shuttered, our program is growing. WGS is currently developing a new major that will deepen our curriculum and give students even more ways to make this work the center of their education.

Your gift to WGS supports student prizes that recognize outstanding work, faculty research that pushes the field forward, and outreach that connects our scholarship to the broader community. Your support sends a powerful signal: that rigorous, fearless inquiry into gender and sexuality belongs at the heart of a great university.

Gifts in the following amounts could fund:

  • $5: A small gesture of support
  • $50: Book fund for the WGS library
  • $50: Food for student events
  • $200: Curriculum development support
  • $200: Faculty research support
  • $500: Registration and travel for a student to present at a conference
  • $1,000: Support for public lectures or panels bringing scholars and activists to campus
