Overview

Minor in Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies

Minoring in WGSS at Northeastern provides students the unique opportunity to engage with the premiere academic journal in women’s and gender studies – Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society. Northeastern is the editorial home of the journal and many of our affiliated faculty serve on the editorial board. Program Director Professor Suzanna Walters serves as Editor-in-Chief and Professor Carla Kaplan is the Chair of the Board of Associate Editors. Previous WGSS minor students have completed a co-op with the journal as well as at various political and human services organizations. Minors will also have the opportunity to attend speaker series, panels, symposia, and film screenings.
