Graduate Faculty

The Feminist Studies graduate program has drawn faculty from a wide range of departments across the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and professional schools. Feminist Studies doctoral students' primary advisors and 2nd and 3rd examination committee members must be chosen from the lists below, and the 4th and 5th members of their examination committees will come from the students' external supporting program. For graduate minor students, up to two advisors may be chosen from the faculty listed below. The exact number and composition of a graduate minor's committee are determined by the student's home department.

The following faculty are available to direct dissertations and serve on graduate committees.
