Graduate Teaching Fellowships

The Women's & Gender Studies Program offers several Graduate Teaching Fellowships (GTF) each year to graduate students pursuing their degrees in graduate programs across the University. GTFs usually teach their own sections of WGS 101 or the feminist pedagogy seminar under the supervision of the faculty. Successful candidates for the positions may serve as a facilitator for WGS 101 and are often pursuing their graduate certificate in women's and gender studies.

Applications are due in February and selections are made in March for the following academic year. Applications for GTF positions are available in the Women's & Gender Studies Program office, 315 Hendricks Hall.
