Affiliated Faculty

Affiliated faculty are a group of scholars that represent diverse fields including sociology, history, literature, and anthropology which provides an interdisciplinary approach to gender studies. Their research, teaching, and advocacy efforts deepen our grasp of gender dynamics and social justice, making significant contributions to the study of gender equality within our academic community and society.

Becoming an Affiliate Faculty Memeber with WGS

The faculty affiliate application will ask you to discuss how you apply feminist praxis in your work (teaching, mentoring, scholarship, and/or service), and in particular how it aligns with the WGS mission and goals. We also ask for you to share with us the various ways you have engaged or plan to with the program.
