About

Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Stanford examines how societies organize gender roles, relations, and identities, and how these intersect with other hierarchies of power, such as class, race, nationality, ethnicity, sexuality, disability and age. The Program coordinates courses across the disciplines with a focus on feminist, gender, and sexuality studies. The degree prepares majors for graduate study in humanities and social sciences, and for professional schools. For more information, contact phanlon@stanford.edu or rmeisels@stanford.edu.

The FGSS lounge will be open 9:00-4:30 MWF and 9:00-7:00 TTh. If you find our library lacking in key titles, please email rmeisels@stanford.edu about adding them to our collection! You are welcome to borrow books from our library; please sign them out on the clipboard and return them in a timely fashion.

Testimonials

"For lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities, Queer studies can be a saving grace, a connection to our histories and futures. As a major in Feminist Studies, focusing on LGBT/Queer studies instilled in me a strong sense of pride and connection to the communities i am a part of.

After analyzing the work of scholars and activists who come before me, i leave Stanford confident that i can make a lasting contribution to a better future for both women's rights and LGBT rights."
