This year, the Center’s graduating majors completed exciting Honors Thesis research projects that translate their academic learning into advancing scholarship and addressing real-world challenges. Through this research, these students help us realize the mission of the Center’s academic program to offer students cutting-edge education in gender, sexualities, and women’s studies; the intersections of gender and sexualities with race, class, and other systems of power; and how to transform these systems to promote justice.
