From the Chair
Dear Friends of Women and Gender Studies,
We鈥檝e had a busy couple of months here at the Cottage, hiring a new faculty member in the area of race/ethnicity. We will welcome Maisam Alomar to the department this coming fall semester. She is currently finishing up her PhD in ethnic studies at the University of California San Diego. New WGST professor Kristie Soares joined us this January. Both a professor and a performance artist, Dr. Soares鈥檚 work explores issues of queerness in Caribbean and Latinx communities. We鈥檙e excited to welcome these new members of our WGST community! And they are arriving just in time鈥攚e now enjoy 145 WGST majors and minors.
Thank you for your continued support of Women and Gender Studies. As always, we鈥檇 love to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Lorraine Bayard de Volo
