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.
