We welcome the participation of all alumni of the University of Chicago interested in Gender and Sexuality Studies. The Center hosts events open to alumni throughout the year.
Support the CGS: Become an Alumni Affiliate
- In developing the exhibition “On
Equal Terms”: Educating Women at the University of Chicago,
the staff of the CGS recognized the importance of maintaining the historical
continuity of the Center. To that end, we’ve created this space to list
our graduates as affiliates of the Center much as we list our faculty
affiliates. We hope it will serve multiple purposes: provide an historical
record of our graduates, help you all stay in contact with each other
and the Center should you wish, and provide a resource for our current
students who wonder what has happened to the students who came before
them. As a start this will be a list of names, but as it develops it can
also become an updated contact list with addresses and current positions.
This could also become a source of mentors and contacts for our majors
as they explore their future career options.
We welcome your ideas for how we might expand our outreach and ongoing contact. One idea discussed is having contact persons for each cohort; please let us know if you are interested in doing this for your class.
To become an alumni affiliate, share ideas of expanding this outreach, or submit questions, email Stuart Michaels at stuartm@uchicago.edu. Please provide your full name, your graduation year and program, city, current affiliation, and an email address.

- Experience of Women at the University of Chicago Project
- For the past four years the Center for Gender Studies has been engaged
in the Experience of Women Project. This project, undertaken by both faculty
and students, was designed to collect, record, and present a major history
of the role and experience of women at the University of Chicago.
The exhibit "On Equal Terms": Educating Women at the University of Chicago will run from March 11 through July 14, 2009, in special collections at the Regenstein Library. The multimedia exhibit will include both archival material and oral histories collected from University of Chicago alumnae.
