Consortium Courses
Graduate Consortium in Women’s Studies
The Graduate Consortium in Women’s Studies (GCWS) is a pioneering effort by faculty at MIT, Boston University, and other institutions in the Boston area to advance scholarship in the fields of women’s, gender, and sexuality studies. Graduate students at BU may take the team-taught, interdisciplinary courses for credit. Each fall, GCWS offers a “Workshop for Dissertation Writers in Women’s and Gender Studies” in addition to other courses such as “Feminist Inquiry.” The spring 2011 courses are “U.S. Women’s Biography: Lives/History/Feminist Theory” with Professors Carla Kaplan and Susan Ware and “Gender, Race, and the Complexities of Science and Technology” with Professors Sally Haslanger and Peter Taylor.
