The Program on Gender and Global Change is an interdisciplinary program focused on comparative historical analyses of changing patterns of gender relations. It is part of the Einaudi Center for International Studies and coordinates its initiatives with the Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program; the African, Asian and Latin American Studies Programs, and topical studies groups such as International Studies in Planning, International Political Economy, and Peace Studies.
GGC organizes workshops, seminar series and courses, and provides summer support to graduate students for pre-dissertation and dissertation research. The program also seeks external support for workshops, meetings, research, and political activities. This includes collaborative opportunities for research with colleagues and programs within and outside of the university community and activities to support graduate and undergraduate coursework, research, and activism.
GGC is not a degree granting program, as students who work on topics related to gender and global change must fulfill their degree requirements either in one of the fields of the graduate school or one of the professional schools. However, the program provides a base from which students can develop an interdisciplinary program on gender and global change by drawing upon the abundant resources of Cornell University.
