Gender and Sexuality Studies Workshop
The Gender and Sexuality Studies Workshop (GSSW) provides participants with an interdisciplinary forum for the development of critical perspectives on gender and sexuality. The workshop discusses pre-circulated papers written by University of Chicago graduate students, faculty, and visiting scholars. Attendees are expected to read the paper in advance of the workshop meeting; papers are made available on the CSGS website or via our email list.

Regulating Family, Sex, and Gender
Professor Mary Anne Case from the Law School at the University of Chicago has created this workshop to illustrate the breadth of subjects and methodologies covered by the regulation of family, sex, and gender. The workshop is intended for lawyers and non-lawyers alike.

The Undergraduate Workshop
In 2010, as part of our continuing efforts to expand the undergraduate program, CSGS is happy to announce the creation of a new undergraduate workshop. The 2010-11 workshop, "Women's Rights in Conflict Areas," was organized by Erin Britton and Mrinalini Ramesh and run in connection with the Global Affairs Leadership Society (GALS). The mission of GALS is to encourage an active dialogue on and an engagement with gender/women's issues and international affairs, and to promote initiatives and leadership in the fields of policymaking & implementation on these issues.
For 2011-12, CSGS will again sponsor a GALS workshop with the same acronym but a different theme and world area. The workshop "Gender Activism, Learning, and Service," coordinated by Emmaline Campbell and five board members, will focus on women and gender issues in modern Western society. The Autumn Quarter theme will be "Women in Leadership."
See the GALS blog for updates and for coverage by the Chicago Maroon and Her Campus UChicago.
