The Center for Gender Studies at the University of Chicago was established in 1996, after a decade of faculty and student self-organization and now consolidates work on gender and sexuality, and in feminist, gay and lesbian, and queer studies. The center was renamed the Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality in July, 2011 to more accurately represent our mission.
The Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality seeks to advance new forms of interdisciplinary knowledge which connect academic learning to worldly problems and contexts. In addition to sponsoring faculty research projects, conferences, and exhibits, the Center hosts faculty fellows, postdoctoral fellows, and visiting scholars. The Center offers a major and minor degree in gender and sexuality studies as well as opportunities for internships and research. Graduate student offerings include a certificate in gender and sexuality studies, workshops, teaching opportunities, and dissertation fellowships. The Center aims to engage scholars both within and outside the confines of the University and to facilitate new conversations across existing academic disciplines and beyond.
