The University’s location facilitates faculty and student work linked to policy and other areas of public concern, as well as links to major cultural institutions and numerous non-profit organizations and NGOs. The Women and Gender Studies program and center (WGST) at George Mason is based on an integrated, co-curricular model, and is one of the few in the country to house both academic programs (undergraduate and graduate) based in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, and student affairs initiatives in collaboration with Mason’s unit for student affairs, University Life. The WGST program offers a graduate MA concentration and both an online and in-person graduate certificate in women and gender studies, an undergraduate major and minor, and an interdisciplinary undergraduate minor in LGBTQ studies. As a fully integrated program and center, WGST offers a space for the exploration of social inequalities of gender, sexuality, race, class, and disability across disciplinary and cultural borders through academic coursework, student development, and leadership opportunities. A campus leader in promoting interdisciplinarity, the Women and Gender Studies Program facilitates collaborations with a broad range of disciplines across the humanities, arts, and social sciences, and has strong links with African and African American Studies (AAAS), Cultural Studies, and Mason’s Center for Humanities Research.

Our mission is to put philosophy to work to address key contemporary issues and enduring philosophical questions to foster critically engaged citizens, and to enable students and faculty to engage with pressing matters of global and public concern.
