"Now more than ever, WGSS helps us to ask and answer the most pressing questions of our time. 

With a commitment to analyzing relationships of power, challenging forms of oppression, and building knowledge that liberates, WGSS gives us the tools to understand our world. 

We welcome you to join our thriving departmental community of students, staff, and faculty."

-Dr. Mytheli Sreenivas, Professor and Chair of WGSS

 

“There is a lot of anxiety that has been expressed by students related to the current legislation being introduced in Ohio and how that will affect the validity of their WGSS degree. 

While your concerns are totally valid and the world is a very scary place right now, I can say with complete confidence that your degree will continue to remain credible. 

I would even argue that in light of all of the current events a WGSS degree is more valuable than ever, as it will give you the tools needed to continue to fight against the seemingly never-ending oppression and injustice that living in 2023 brings. 

This is not the first time Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies has been attacked, and unfortunately it is likely not the last. 

Ohio State’s WGSS department is one of the greatest in the country, and a degree from our institution will always be considered impressive, important, and valuable.”

-Zoe Shook, Triota President, WGSS Undergraduate Studies Committee Representative, & WGSS Minor
