About WGSS

The Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) Area is housed in the Department of Social and Critical Inquiry. It was first established as the Women’s Studies Program at the University of Connecticut in 1974. The first formal program of its kind in the state, it was founded as a flexible interdisciplinary academic program devoted to the critical analysis of gender and the pursuit of knowledge about women.
