Discover Gender, Sexuality and Women's Studies
The '''Discovering Gender''' project is a collection of photos of and interviews with [[nonbinary]] and/or [[gender nonconforming]] people. It was started by nonbinary couple Ash Hobbs and Jess Simmons.<ref name="Roberts">{{Cite web |title=“Discovering Gender Project” Explores Lives of Gender Non-Conformists |last=Roberts |first=Andrew |work=Outwire757.com |date=6 September 2018 |access-date=5 June 2020 |url= https://outwire757.com/discovering-gender-project-explores-lives-of-gender-non-conformists/}}</ref>
One major, multiple perspectives.
The Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies Program at UVM offers students an opportunity to think about sex, gender, gender identity and other forms of difference over time and across cultures. The students and faculty of GSWS draw from the social sciences, the physical sciences, the humanities and creative arts to pursue research on questions about gender (the social meaning of the distinctions among sexes) and sexuality (sexual identities, discourses, and institutions). We ask: How have gender and sexual roles been created? How and why are they sustained? Who has benefited from these roles and who has been disadvantaged? How have experiences of sex, gender, sexuality, and gender identity differed by race, (dis)ability, nationality, language, social class, sexual identity? How have these issues changed over time? In what ways are they experienced differently in the United States and in other countries?


Building upon a gateway course, students in the major design a concentration of upper-level courses (often following either a social science or humanities track) and conclude with a senior seminar capstone. Our majors work closely with faculty advisors who encourage students to pursue academic honors by writing a senior thesis and to pursue pre-professional internships. Our two interdisciplinary minors, one in Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies and the other in Sexuality and Gender Identity Studies, are open to all students from across the UVM community.
