People

As a WGS student, you will engage in rigorous academic study, learn alongside deeply-committed peers, work closely with professors in small courses, and develop leadership and alliance skills within community initiatives.

Faculty typically teach three courses per semester (though competitive awards of release time for research are often available), maintain an active research and publishing profile, and advise undergraduate and Master's students in the department. We encourage intellectual collaborations within the department, as well as across the profession, and also support applications for internal and external funding to support research productivity.
