Gender and Women's Studies

The Susan B. Anthony Institute for Gender and Women’s Studies is an inherently interdisciplinary program. Our 100+ faculty associates and affiliates from across the University (Eastman School of Music, School of Medicine and Dentistry, School of Nursing, Warner School, and the College) interact to present and discuss our different fields and their interrelationships from the vantage point of gender and women’s studies. Within the College itself we draw on Anthropology, Art and Art History, Biology, English, History, Linguistics, Modern Languages and Cultures, Music, Philosophy, Political Science, and Religion and Classics. Graduate students from Eastman, Warner School, School of Nursing, and the College (English, Psychology, History, Visual and Cultural Studies) take part in our events. Undergraduates who participate include not just our own majors but students from Psychology, Political Science, English, Biology, Brain and Cognitive Science, Anthropology, Physics, Optics, Japanese, Business, Economics, Art and Art History, and Music, as well as students who have not yet declared majors. Every year the Institute sponsors monthly faculty research seminars, several lecture series, an interdisciplinary graduate conference, an undergraduate conference, and starting this year, the Two Icons Lecture (co-sponsored with the Frederick Douglass Institute) and the Susan B. Anthony Lecture.
