Welcome to the UCLA Department of Gender Studies. Located in the Division of Social Sciences in UCLA’s College of Letters and Science, Gender Studies is home to the College’s largest interdisciplinary faculty and one of the first PhD programs in our field globally. With nineteen core faculty — including two endowed departmental chairs and one endowed divisional chair — and fourteen joint faculty engaged in feminist research spanning multiple disciplines, our department maintains widespread connections and collaborations across the campus and the UC system. Complementary to their work in Gender Studies, our core faculty administer allied units and centers at UCLA, including the Center for the Study of Women/Barbra Streisand Center, the American Indian Studies Center, the Master of Social Sciences Program, the Center for Critical Internet Inquiry, the Center on Race & Digital Justice, DataX, and the Racial Violence Hub. We are also excited to announce that as of this year, the LGBTQ Studies Program, directed by our colleague Joshua Guzmán, is now housed within Gender Studies.
