Histories of Women, Gender, and Sexuality

The Women's, Gender, and Sexuality History program at Ohio State University is committed to teaching and scholarship on women and gender that is comparative and global in scope. All of our students are funded through fellowships and teaching or research assistantships for up to five years; and they have access to a multitude of funds that support travel and research.
