Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies
Thank You For Considering Supporting Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies

About

Women, Gender, & Sexuality Studies (WGSS) at Western Washington University pursues praxis and critical inquiry through feminist and queer scholarship by teaching and activism that makes sense of how gender impacts our world and shapes social, political, and cultural formations. We are dedicated to teaching undergraduate majors and minors to use critical thinking to bridge feminist theories and social justice practice. Our program foregrounds interdisciplinary analyses of feminism, gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, and queer studies in transnational and multicultural contexts. The program prepares students to pursue graduate school, law, social service, counseling, public policy, health care, teaching, social activism, and the arts.


Impact

We are very proud of our students and the accomplishments they've made in the field of gender and sexuality studies, and your gift helps us maintain the high quality of the department’s curriculum. Thank you! Your donations allow us to bring speakers and events to campus that ingrain in our students an even deeper love for gender and sexuality studies, broadening their vision and understanding of diverse cultures. 


What do YOU get in return for your donation?

Well first off, you'll receive a rush of feel-good endorphins, knowing that your donation will go towards furthering student experiences and learning opportunities! Second, you'll receive one of the first Official WGSS Western Stickers (stickers will be included in Thank You letters sent out to all Give Day Donors).
