Meet the Department of Global Gender and Sexuality Studies

Global Gender and Sexuality Studies hosted a tour at Albright Knox Art Gallery of the exhibit 'We Wanted a Revolution: Black Radical Women, 1965-85.

The Department of Global Gender and Sexuality Studies promotes critical thinking and understanding of today's diverse, multicultural world through research and teaching on feminism, women, gender and sexuality. Originally formed in 1972, we are one of the first women’s studies programs in the United States.
