Gender and Sexuality Studies

The USC Dornsife Department of Gender and Sexuality Studies provides a welcoming intellectual environment for students and faculty to explore the ways that gender and sexuality impact culture, politics, science, and public and private life. Faculty are leading experts and influential advocates dedicated to building inclusive communities both on campus and in the public square. And with a popular podcast network and other new initiatives, the department has become the home at USC for those who are committed to better understanding evolving notions of identity.
