- Women and Gender Studies Program at George Mason University
The Women and Gender Studies programs at Mason are designed to give you a firm grounding in the theory and methodology of gender and help you better understand men, women, the relationships between sex and gender, the impact of sex, race, class, disability and sexual orientation and more. Connect with a research-minded faculty that will lead your exploration through topics such as women’s roles in social, political and economic life, women’s roles in history, women and the media and feminist theory. Acquire the tools to envision other alternatives to conventional stereotypes. We offer an 18-credit undergraduate minor with an optional focus in LGBTQ Studies, a 15-credit graduate Certificate and a 36-credit Masters degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a Concentration in Women and Gender Studies. With access to The Women and Gender Studies Center – a coalition that bridges academic coursework with student development, leadership and team building – you can get involved with many events, research opportunities and community activism.
Mission: Our mission is to educate the George Mason University community about gender issues and issues of concern to women, and to be a focal point for Women's Studies scholarship and research.

Here at the Women and Gender Studies Center we will continue to do the work of understanding and addressing social inequities. Below is our statement of solidarity from our core faculty and staff:
This is a time of sorrow, of anger, of introspection, of discomfort, of activism. As we confront anti-black racism in the wake of the killings of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Tony McDade, Ahmaud Arbery, and so many others, Women and Gender Studies reaffirms our collective mission to understand and address social inequities. We mourn and march and commit to the work of social justice collectively. We are not all experiencing this the same way. For some of us racism is a daily and familiar experience while others of us must interrogate our own racism and complicity in oppression. Women and Gender Studies has been articulating these concerns through academics, advocacy, and support, and we have more work to do. Black women have fundamentally shaped gender activism and critique from the very beginning of modern feminism. Sojourner Truth, Harriet Jacobs, Ida B. Wells, Anna Julia Cooper, Audre Lorde, Bernice Johnson Reagon, bell hooks, Barbara Smith, Ntozake Shange, Anita Hill, Patricia Hill-Collins, Cheryl Dunye, Dorothy Roberts, Janet Mock, Sybrina Fulton, and many others have challenged those practices that, to quote Kimberlé Crenshaw, “relegate the identity of women of color to a location that resists telling.” Critical tools like intersectionality were developed to name blindness and oppression within the most visible articulations of feminism and women’s studies and they remain powerful because that critique is still necessary. Through introspection and advocacy we will work for institutional change here and in the world. The university is one place where we can make this change as we hire faculty, develop curricula, and reform academic and institutional policies. We who are faculty and staff prepare our students to make changes in those institutions that they will shape outside the university, and we must listen when they in turn hold us accountable and make us better.

Kasha Jaqueline Nabagesera is a Ugandan LGBTQ activist. In 2003, she co-founded Freedom and Roam Uganda, a feminist organization that fights for the human rights of women and LGBTQ people in Uganda. In 2015, Nabagesera created Uganda's first LGBTQ magazine, titled Bombastic, as a platform to raise awareness about LGBTQ people and their experiences. Despite the dangers she faces being openly gay and an activist in Uganda, Nabagesera continues to fight for human rights undeterred.

On #ThrowbackThursday lets talk about a significant figure in the civil rights movement that often gets forgotten. This is Bayard Rustin. Rustin was a powerful activist who is best known for being the organizer of the 1963 March on Washington. He also contributed new ideas to Martin Luther King Jr.'s views on nonviolent protest, and was an advisor to him throughout the civil rights movement. Rustin was also openly gay at a time when it was dangerous to be. In 2013, Bayard Rustin was posthumously awarded the Medal of Freedom for his lifelong activism.

Today is the anniversary of the Equal Pay Act! The Equal Pay Act passed in 1963 mandated that employers could not pay men and women differently for jobs that required, “equal skill, effort, and responsibility, and which are performed under similar working conditions.” Despite this, the Bureau of Labor Statistics found in 2016 that women are still paid 82 cents for every dollar a man earns. Additionally, black women earn 61 cents for every white man's dollar and Latina women earn only 54 cents. Clearly there is a lot more work to be done. For more information check out now.org

#TrailblazerTuesday This is Kathy Kozachenko, the first openly gay person to be elected to public office. While this status is often attributed to Harvey Milk, Kozachenko served on the Ann Arbor city council from 1974-1976, two years before Milk's 1978 election. Kozachenko's campaign was notable in other ways as well. Her sexuality was not central to her campaign and she was able focus on a variety of issues. She said in her victory speech, "Gay liberation was not a major issue in the campaign — both candidates in this ward said they supported gay rights, but 10 years ago, or even three years ago, lesbianism would have meant automatic defeat." Kozachenko's life in public office would be short lived, as she would only serve one term, but she continues to advocate for LGBTQ rigthts.
“I am so proud of all the activists that came after me,” Kozachenko said. “The people that pushed and pushed and pushed for gay marriage, the transgender people that have pushed for their rights and for understanding of who they are. I think none of this would have happened without the energy and activism of many, many people not giving up, and I’m very grateful for that, and I’m grateful for the chance that I was able to play a small part in this.”

On this #FounderFriday we honor Sylvia Rivera. Sylvia was a veteran of the Stonewall Riots, a drag queen and a Latina transgender woman. She was 17 years old the night the riots happened and was a strong activist for trans rights the rest of her life. Sylvia founded STAR, or Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries, with Marsha P. Johnson in 1970. Sylvia passed away in 2002, but her legacy as an important voice for trans rights lives on, including in an organization named after her called the Sylvia Rivera Law project, which provides Social services, legal services, health services, and public education for transgender, intersex, and gender non-conforming people.

Today is #TrailblazerTuesday and we're going to talk about Marsha P. Johnson! Marsha was a drag queen in New York and is well known for being a part of the Stonewall riots on June 28, 1969. She often said that the "P" in her name stood for "Pay it no mind," in response to probing questions about her gender identity or gender expression. In 1970, Marsha and her good friend and fellow activist, Sylvia Rivera, opened the STAR house, a shelter for LGBTQ youth. Marsha P. Johnson tragically died in 1992, from what many believe was murder, but her legacy lives on today as a pioneer for LGBTQ rights and a champion of the most vulnerable members of society.

On June 1, 1863, the Union Army conducted a raid along the Combahee River in South Carolina freeing more than 700 enslaved people and torching many plantations, fields, and warehouses. Harriet Tubman played a critical role in this raid with her spy work and trustworthiness among enslaved populations from her work in the Underground Railroad.

Today is the first day of pride but it isn't a joyful time. Days ago Tony McDade was killed in Tallahassee, Florida by police. According to #HRC he was at least the 12th violent killing of a transgender or gender nonconforming person this year in the US. It is no coincidence that he was also a black man. Here at the Women and Gender Studies center we stand with #TonyMcDade #GeorgeFloyd #BreonnaTaylor and #AmaudArbery, and we stand with the countless others murdered by police whose names we will never know. We emphatically proclaim that #BlackLivesMatter
We must renew our efforts to be strongly anti-racist. We must be allies, and we must be accountable for our actions. Here at #WGST we will continue to center the lives and voices of those who are made vulnerable by the system.

On May 29, 1851, Sojourner Truth famously gave her "Ain't I a Woman" speech at the Women's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio. Truth was a former slave and a strong advocate for abolition and women's rights. There are two popular versions of her "Ain't I a Woman" speech. One was published 12 years after she gave her speech and the other was published one month after the speech. The two are wildly different. Check out www.sojournertruthproject.com to see both versions.

Good morning dear ones - wanted to share one of my recent posts to Medium. So much that goes into the heart of the essay certainly reflects so much of the great theory and scholarship I absorbed from WGST.

Hello! I wanted to let you know that we are hiring a part-time Victim Advocate/Case Manager at the University of Mary Washington. This position provides direct services to university students and liaises with our two great community partners, and would be particularly perfect for a student!
it is highly concerning that this individual is on the GMU faculty.
Applications NOW AVAILABLE for the 2018 Mason LeaderShape Institute!! Don't miss out on this amazing experience. For more info and to apply, visit: https://lead.gmu.edu/leadershapeinstitute/. The deadline to apply is March 23rd.
Here's what some of our students have to say:
"In six days, the Mason LeaderShape Institute embodied what George Mason University stands for, a message that takes some students their entire college career to learn: freedom to grow and discover the numerous possibilities in the world, and learning how being a leader is something anyone can accomplish if they “have a healthy disregard for the impossible.”
"I am so grateful to the LEAD office for providing me with that collaborative space and especially for that week-long immersion into those relationships. LeaderShape has continued to impact my outlook on my abilities. I am constantly reflecting on my knowledge learned in the week, and applying it to my day-to-day situations. I often find my motivation comes from thinking about all the goals I set back at LeaderShape. At the end of that week, I walked away so excited to start the Fall semester, feeling very connected to my campus community."
"Going to the LeaderShape Institute was one of the most enriching experiences I have had during my college experience. During this 6-day institute, I grew tremendously as a person. I was put into an environment with other students, faculty, staff, and professionals that all wanted to focus on personal development and personal growth while learning how to contribute their own individual voice to events and issues that are important today. This institute allowed me to take a deeper look into myself and where I currently stand with my leadership skills and how I could grow and develop more into the woman that I wanted to become. I left with so many useful tools and connections to others at Mason because of this trip."
"Being a part of the LeaderShape Institute at Mason provided me with the BIGGEST transformation throughout my college experience. The things I gained from LeaderShape are things few people, who are lucky enough, get to experience in their lifetime. For the first time in my life, I was given tools to help me define myself."
"The most rewarding aspect of Mason LeaderShape was what I learned about myself and my capacity to be a catalyst for positive change. This has allowed me to focus on my vision and continue to work on it in a way that will contribute to society."
Interested in working in the LEAD Office? Looking for an incredible leadership experience on campus and working with an amazing team of people :) Applications to be a Student Leadership Consultant for the 2018-2019 academic year are NOW AVAILABLE. The deadline to apply is March 9th at 5pm. For more info and to apply, visit: https://lead.gmu.edu/involvement/leadership-consultants/.
