PhD Minor

The PhD minor in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies equips graduate students pursuing PhDs with broad interdisciplinary knowledge and methodologies in the field that can be applied to their own research and varied career trajectories. The goal of the program is to bring together graduate students and faculty from various departments, programs, and schools who address FGSS issues in their research and teaching.
