Welcome to Gender & Women's Studies!
Welcome to Gender and Women's Studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
Gender and Women's Studies is a vibrant interdisciplinary academic program that coordinates a wide range of research, teaching and public service activities emphasizing intersectional approaches to the study of gender, race, class, ethnicity, and sexuality in national and transnational contexts.
We offer a well-established undergraduate major, undergraduate minor, and graduate minor, and we are in the process of proposing an undergraduate minor in LGBT/Queer Studies. We invite you to explore our program website and to contact us for further information.
Announcements
GWS is deeply saddened and outraged by the acts of hostility committed against the artwork outside of American Indian Studies and Native American House. The signs are part of an exhibit by Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds and was designed to "remind the campus community whose land they occupy," according to the Native American House Web site. The signs represent 12 different indigenous peoples with homelands in Illinois.
Congratulations to the Recipients of the 2009 Feminist Scholarship Award! See our News and Events page for more information.
