Overview
We look at history, art, society, and culture through the lens of gender. The Gender, Sexuality and Women's Studies program from the College of William & Mary will challenge your preconceptions and change your perspectives: You will move beyond static thinking and restrictive boundaries to gain insights that are valuable in many fields, including law, education, politics, business, social action, the arts, and medicine.
The Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies Program is one of the first interdisciplinary programs at William & Mary. It was founded in 1991 as Women's Studies, and renamed in 2013. Around twenty students each year graduate with a B.A. in GSWS. Our alumni go on to careers in non-profits, law, government, teaching, and academia.
Research
- Research is a major focus of the Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies program. We require all majors to take at least one research course and encourage all students of GSWS – even non-majors – to participate in independent research.
- We introduce students to major scholars through the Minnie Braithwaite Lecture and through our Brownbag Discussion Series. The Boswell Initiative is another venue for showcasing current scholarship in the discipline. Keep an eye on our events calendar!
