Dear FGSS Students, Faculty, and Alumni, We have another big year ahead of us!

This newsletter will key you in on the latest FGSS happenings. Please make a point to join us for one of our Fall events; reach out to Charlotte, Maxe, or An to reconnect; and keep us in the loop about your work so we can support the great things you do across campus.

For faculty, there are the usual opportunities for service: Guest lecture in Winter 101, judge the Rosaldo Lopes Moore Prizes at the end of the year, join the Program Committee, promote FGSS in your courses, and spread the word about our Honors program. Let Maxe know if you’d like a Program Representative to visit your class.

We have a gorgeous new course flyer featuring art by Cairo Mo ('20). Come pick one up in Margaret Jacks, at our Welcome Back event, or ask us to deliver! 

FGSS People to Know

A warm welcome to this year’s Faculty Fellows. We are thrilled to have these tremendous people and scholars join the program: Alexis Wells-Oghoghomeh (Religious Studies) and Partha Pratim Shil (History). You will have many opportunities to engage with them this year.

Thanks to tremendous efforts over the past two years, we have a new Lecturer in FGSS! Dr Maya Cruz comes to us by way of UC Davis. Maya works in the fields of Cultural Studies, Ethnic Studies, and Feminist Science and Technology Studies. This year, she will teach two seminars, “Intersectional Feminisms” in Fall and “Introduction to Feminist Science and Social Justice” in Spring, along with co-teaching 101 and the Honors Workshop with Maxe. Help us welcome Maya (and her service dog Rosalie). Invite her to coffee and help her connect to scholars & campus endeavors in her fields.
