Alumni

Students who majored or minored in the Study of Women, Gender, and Sexuality have gone on to a variety of high-impact careers. The same is true of students who minored in the Program in Poverty, Justice, and Human Capabilities, which was part of our Center for several years. Graduate students who earned our Graduate Certificate along with their Ph.D. in a Rice humanities or social sciences department have likewise taken a variety of paths toward meaningful careers, both in and out of academia.
