CUNY DIGITAL HISTORY ARCHIVE

This July 1, 2014, annual report of the Center for the Study of Women and Society (CSWS) covered the 2014-15 fiscal year, from July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2015. It identified Professor Linda Martín Alcoff as the director of CSWS, which was now located in Room 5116 at the City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate Center at 365 5th Avenue in Manhattan. This was followed by information on the monthly Gender and Sexuality Lecture Series, which had been running successfully for six years. Next, the report provided information on CSWS's co-sponsored events, Visiting Scholars, and community outreach. In the section about plans for the future, it was revealed that CUNY's Board of Trustees had approved on March 2, 2015 the Master's of Arts program in Women's and Gender Studies. CSWS worked with CLAGS (the Center for LGBTQ Studies) to develop the Gender and Sexuality track for the MA program. The report then provided information on new faculty, the Advisory Board, and leadership changes. Regarding the latter, Professor Alcoff was to begin a sabbatical, with Queens College and Graduate Center Professor Hester Eisenstein serving as the director of CSWS, coordinator of the Women's Studies Certificate Program (WSCP), and the first director of the new MA program.
