Student Opportunities

The Gender Studies Program offers students in our graduate minor program numerous opportunities to enrich their theoretical knowledge, pedagogical skills, and professional development, as well as their engagement with Notre Dame’s interdisciplinary Gender Studies community.  

These opportunities include receiving grants and awards for research or creative work, as well as serving the Program as a Teaching Apprentice, Research Workshop Coordinator, and Steering Committee Graduate Student Representative.  

The Director of Graduate Studies welcomes ideas from our graduate minors on other programming initiatives.
