Faculty Directory
The gender and women’s studies program currently has core teaching faculty, and many teaching associates across the college.
Teaching associates teach courses in their home departments or, occasionally, they teach the core gender and women’s studies offerings.
This eclectic group comprises award-winning teachers, professionals ranging from the Chief of University Police to human resource associates and adult learning coordinators, and community members interested in gender and women’s studies. We come together to make the gender and women’s studies program work for you!
