My Feminism Is Bulletin Boards

WGSS students explore how gender, sex, and sexuality intersect with race, ethnicity, class, ability, and other social identities in a global context to shape people’s lives as well as systems of power.

Old Westbury's WGSS program develops students who are critical thinkers and advocates for social justice. The program uses feminist theory and methods to center the experience of marginalized groups within many fields of study.
