JHU Program in WGS

On Thursday, October 15th, at 6:00pm, Johns Hopkins undergraduate students are encouraged to join us on Zoom for a 'Coffee Klatsch':

"Come and meet Professor Jennifer Culbert, the new director of the Program for the Study of Women, Gender and S*xuality! You do not need to be a WGS minor to come to this meeting; we welcome everyone who is interested in talking about the study of women, gender and sexuality, and who may like to know about events the WGS program is hosting this year. Unfortunately, we can’t meet in person but we hope you will bring a mug of coffee or tea or hot chocolate or whatever warm beverage you enjoy to our Zoom “coffee.” The meeting will take place on Thursday, October 15 at 6pm EST. Please rsvp to WGS undergraduate liaison Aaron Wiegand at [email protected] and he will send you the Zoom link and passcode. Also, if you have other friends who you think would like to attend this meeting, please have them email Aaron so they can come too.

At the meeting, if you have questions about the minor Professor Culbert will be happy to answer them but we would most like to talk about ways the WGS program may be most interesting, helpful, supportive, and intellectually productive for you under the peculiar circumstances of this academic year. All ideas welcome. Of course, if you don’t have any suggestions for us, that is fine too. Just join us and enjoy a warm beverage with some friends."

UNDERGRAD RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS (WINTER BREAK 2017-18)

Every year, WGS offers a handful of research grants for undergrad students in KSAS for independent research over winter break 2017-18. Students who are working on topics relates to women, gender, and sexuality are encouraged to apply for funding of up to $1,000. Applications -- which must be done in association with a faculty sponsor and include a letter of support from that faculty member -- are due on or before Friday, Dec. 8th (on a rolling basis). More details are available on the poster (attached).

Please do encourage undergrads to apply for this opportunity to have their work funded and, in the spring workshop, to present that work with peers.

We look forward to seeing these submissions!
