About the Program

Letter from the Coordinator

On behalf of the faculty and students of the Gender and Sexuality Studies Program (G&SS) at Bryn Mawr College, I would like to welcome you to our website.

Gender and Sexuality Studies at Bryn Mawr College is an interdisciplinary program that provides the academic framework for the study and critical analysis of gender, sexuality, race, class, nationality, and other categories of social life that structure meaning and create communities. As a bi-college program, we work closely with Haverford College, and organize events throughout the academic year that showcase the diversity and the range of the intellectual interests of our students, faculty, and our community.  

The Gender and Sexuality Studies Program also works closely with departments and centers on campus, including the Katharine Houghton Hepburn Center, as well as with the Greater Philadelphia Women’s Studies Consortium, in order to ensure the diversity of intellectual and interdisciplinary breadth that forms the basis of our curricular offerings and our community connections.

The Program is steadily growing and has over 20 concentrators, minors, and independent majors. We welcome you to our site and look forward to seeing you in our classes!
