Faculty members of the Department of Gender and Women's Studies

UC Berkeley’s research on gender and sexuality has contributed to our understanding of how gender and sex are entwined notions and how the production of genders engages layers of personal experience, institutions, relations of power, and shifting hierarchies and opportunities.

The gender and women’s studies department is dedicated to thinking about the relationships between gender, sexuality, race and other relations of power constituted across transnational, geopolitical space.
