Faculty involvement in teaching and research has been the core of the Women’s and Gender Studies Program since inception with a multidisciplinary team of faculty from across multiple social sciences as well as STEM fields. Located within Syracuse University’s School of Arts & Sciences, WGS has made notable contributions to the university’s curriculum including in the departments of English, History, Anthropology, and Education among others. Since its founding in 1976, WGS has expanded from an undergraduate program to include a graduate program of study offering a Certificate of Advanced Study (C.A.S.) in addition to a major and minor Bachelors Degree. WGS students recognize, analyze, and challenge issues of power, oppression, injustice, as well as social, economic, ecological, and epistemic violence. Across disciplines, WGS employs critical, decolonial, multiracial, antiracist and anti-caste, queer, class liberatory, and dis/ability-focused theory and frameworks to interrogate comparative feminist theories and the construction of gender within these and related contexts. The Department of Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS) emphasizes intersectional, decolonial and transnational feminist theories and methods to investigate how gender, sexuality, race, caste, nationality and citizenship status, health and dis/ability status, and class relations and practices are embedded in and shaped by diverse social, political, material, economic, and cultural realities. ![]() For more information, please visit the Onondaga Nation website.
