Initiative on Sexualities and Genders

Graduate Workshop in Gender History

The Gender History Workshop (GHW) is a forum for graduate students at Brown University to get feedback on their writing on histories of women, gender, and sexuality. The workshop welcomes scholarship that lives at the intersection of “gender” and “history,” both terms broadly construed.

Workshop participants precirculate works-in-progress, including dissertation chapters, article drafts, conference papers, and research/grant proposals, and members convene over a casual dinner roughly 3x/semester to discuss the work. 

We aim to cultivate a relaxed but rigorous atmosphere in which graduate students can make progress on their projects, graduate students interested in similar thematic topics can convene from across the university, and graduate students and faculty within the History department can learn together in an informal setting.
