Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies South
(a SEWSA Legacy)
Our History
WGS South (Formerly the Southeastern Women’s Studies Association or SEWSA) is a feminist organization that actively supports and promotes all aspects of women’s studies at every level of involvement. The organization is committed to scholarship on and activism eliminating oppression and discrimination on the basis of sex, gender identity and expression, race, age, religion, sexual orientation, ethnic background, physical ability, and class.
Conferences
Each year, WGS South is honored to work with one of the institutions in the Southeastern region of the United States to host an annual academic conference. The host institution selects the theme, and location, and works alongside the WGS South Board to ensure the conference is a success.
