The Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) program supports a generous and pluralistic understanding of scholarly research on women and gender in relation to other aspects of identity, including race, ethnicity, religion, class, disability, nationality, and sexuality. Emory was the first university to offer the Ph.D. in Women's Studies, establishing its program in 1990. It remains the only Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies PhD program supported by a private institution. The WGSS emphasizes a wide interdisciplinary range of comparative feminist theories and empirical perspectives as well as grounding in traditional disciplines.<br> <br>Nationally and internationally women's, gender, and sexuality studies has grown into an important and well-established field of academic inquiry. Women's, gender, and sexuality are studied in relation to other important aspects of identity, including race, ethnicity, religion, class, disability, nationality, and sexuality. Women's, Gender, and Sexuality analyzes the ways in which social and institutional power is structured in part around social identities, and it examines the meanings attached to these identities through interdisciplinary lenses. This broader understanding has implications not only for what is studied but how it is studied. Emory scholars working in the study of women, gender, and sexuality reflect this development in their work, which covers a range of disciplinary and methodological approaches.<br><br>Feminist scholarship on visual culture, narrative, and ethics in the department explores visual and narrative representation as a cultural force shaped by gender, race, sexuality, class, age, and disability. We investigate the narrative properties of visual imagery and material culture, and probe the ethical implications of identity, asking how these areas of inquiry interface with feminist and queer political positions. As interdisciplinary scholars we draw on methodologies from the arts, humanities, sciences, and social sciences to approach visual imagery, narrative form, and ethics within their historical, social, cultural, and political contexts. Scholars in this area study the representation of African American women, the bioethics of health, feminist disability studies, representations of the body, marginalized life narratives, and ethical debates in queer and feminist theory.
