Student Research & Symposium

Student Symposium

The Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) Program hosts an annual symposium to highlight the creative and ground-breaking WGSS undergraduate research. Every year at the end of March, the symposium is a public showcase of several students’ work. Finalists will be chosen by a committee of WGSS faculty. Any student in a 2000-level WGSS class is welcome to submit an application from the link below. To apply, fill out the google form below. If you have questions, email one of the directors: Dr. Lisa Costello: lacostello@georgiasouthern.edu or Dr. Jane Rago: jrago@georgiasouthern.edu. Applications are accepted until February 1 every year.

If selected you will present your project on zoom with a live audience. The directors of WGSS will provide a training session for the presentation before the event. Each presentation is about 10 minutes and the symposium lasts about an hour. This event is a great opportunity for young researchers to explore the WGSS field and practice presenting in a safe and comfortable environment. Looks great on a resume!
