The Gender Studies program at North Georgia College & State University was established in 2006, after a decade of faculty and student self-organization in the form of Women and Leadership conferences, committees, and lectures.  Along with fostering teaching, research, and discussion at North Georgia, the program seeks to reach out into public areas where sex, gender, and sexuality come together with other intellectual, artistic, and political expressions.

Housed in the Department of English, the program offers courses focused on gender and sexuality, highlighting curricula from the diverse fields of literature, history, sociology, psychology, criminal justice, political science, education, and nursing.  With a wide range of courses open to all, regardless of major, students may elect a Gender Studies (GNST) minor.  Please contact Dr. Mundy, LAMundy@ngcsu.edu (706-864-1444) or Dr. Spike, TSSpike@ngcsu.edu (706-864-1912) for more information.
