Welcome to the Center for the Study of Women, Gender and Sexuality at Rice - a wellspring for interdisciplinary inquiry and critical knowledge. The Center's programs and activities include an undergraduate program, a graduate certificate program, a postdoctoral fellowship program, four research clusters, and the journal Feminist Economics.

The undergraduate major offers students the opportunity for intensive research and course work with the Center's affiliated faculty. The Poverty, Social Justice and Human Capabilities Program offers undergraduates cross disciplinary critical perspectives and summer internship experience.

Ph.D. students from across the humanities and social sciences come to the Center's graduate certificate program to engage debates in gender, feminist, and sexuality studies, meet visiting scholars in small colloquia, and enrich their doctoral work with teaching assistantships and dissertation support.

In the Center's research clusters, lectures and seminars, faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students meet for lively intellectual exchange on sexuality studies, gender and health; gender and urban life; women and global poverty; race and nation.
