Women, Gender, and Sexualities Collective (WGSC)
Welcome!
The Women, Gender, and Sexualities Collective (WGSC) at Howard University is an interdisciplinary forum for Howard students and faculty, created to support and encourage discussion, scholarship and activism on gender and women’s issues on campus, nationally and internationally. Given the lack of an institutional center or institute on campus dedicated to researching and teaching gender and women’s issues, and the clear need for such an intellectual space given the composition of our student body and the wider Howard community, the WGSC will begin to fill this gap by supporting innovative programming and curriculum development that speaks to the intersectionality of gender, race, class and other identities. The WGSC seeks to build a supportive network of scholars and learners on campus who can share and discuss each other’s’ work, to serve as a resource on gender and women’s scholarship and programming within the wider academy and surrounding communities and develop collaborative interdisciplinary research proposals, deliverables and collaborations. We look forward to working with all interested allies, and we hope you will join us in our exciting mission.

Howard University's 5th Annual International Women's Day Event
For the past four years, Howard University has joined the global community to celebrate International Women’s Day. This year, in line with the United Nations Women (UN Women) theme on Women in Leadership, Howard University will celebrate the women of Howard University Hospital under the theme “Women in Leadership: A Tribute to Howard Women Frontline Workers” on March 3rd. The response of women to this pandemic is noteworthy and today, more than ever, we must celebrate their leadership, emphasize the roles they play in the community and stress the necessity of their expertise, knowledge, and perspectives into the formulation and implementation of policies and programs in all aspects of the pandemic response and beyond.
