The Gender Studies Team consists of faculty and staff who either teach courses for the Gender Studies pre-major program, incorporate gender or sexuality into their courses, and/or support the work of the Gender Studies program. The team works to develop and review processes and support structures for the Gender Studies program and for faculty/staff teaching these topics.
