  8.  Center for Gender Studies

         Center for Gender Studies—Winona State University

Over the last decade at WSU there has been an increasing interest in Gender Studies. The birth of the Women’s Studies    Program in 1992,   the hire of a tenure-track Program Director in 2000, the success of the WILL (Women Involved in
Living and Learning) Program, the success of the Gender and Culture Living and Learning Community at the Residential College, and the continued growth in the Women’s Studies minor has prompted discussion regarding the larger role that
a Center for Gender Studies might play at WSU.
       

Proposal

We propose a Center for Gender Studies to be housed at the Residential College in much the same way as the proposed Center for Mississippi River Studies. Such a center would become a hub for the programs outlined in the first paragraph, as well as a resource center that would coordinate gender-related extra-curricular and co-curricular programming at the Residential College and beyond. The establishment of such a Center aligns with the New University emphasis on fostering meaningful community partnerships and an enriched learning environment for our students.

 Mission

The Center for Gender Studies offers students, faculty, and the greater community multidisciplinary opportunities to examine, analyze and foster debate about the construction and implications of categories of gender difference and sexual identity.

 The Center for Gender Studies is student-focused and sponsors lectures and symposia, encourages and supports initiatives for conferences and speakers, and seeks out student and community participation in the governance of the Center as well as in other areas such as event planning, research, and creative work.

Principles

The Center for Gender Studies will encourage research and creative work in all academic disciplines and will serve as a conduit for a multidisciplinary approach to the study of gender difference and sexual identity.

 The Center for Gender Studies engages critical issues in gender studies such as but not limited to: the study of gender and/or sexuality as historical practice; the study of gender and/or sexuality in social movements such as feminism and gay and lesbian liberation; feminist and queer theory; representations of women in literature, popular culture and the visual arts; intersections of race and gender; Tran nationalism; women across cultures, ecofeminism, and the gendering of such structures as the labor force, the family, and political institutions.

 The Center for Gender Studies seeks to serve and involve multiple audiences: Residential Colleges students, WSU students, WSU faculty and staff, and the Winona community and beyond.
