We’ll help open a conversation that dives deep into the dynamics of power and pushes you to think creatively about transforming our communities. You’ll explore gender and sexuality as central formations in society.

Our women’s, gender, and sexuality studies students expand their knowledge through internships, student organizations, community engagement, study away, and more.

In Fall 2023, faculty and students are co-building the inaugural gender lab at Allegheny, which will be focused on research, leadership, and job/career preparation.

There are various student clubs and organizations that students with an interest in women’s, gender, and sexuality studies can get involved in right here on campus, including:

• Athena House
• Students Advocating for Reproductive Options (SARO)
• Feminism Amplified, Coalition for Equality (FACE)
• Pride Alliance

The Women’s Studies Lecture Series brings noteworthy feminist scholars and contemporary figures to campus in order to raise awareness of women’s issues. Recent events have included a lecture and slide show by the Guerrilla Girls, a lecture and workshop by Tibetan Buddhist Lama Shenpen, a talk on “Women and Islam,” a lecture by the cultural critic Tania Modleski, and a discussion led by Jennifer Baumgartner and Amy Richards, authors of Manifesta.
