Mission

The Feminist & Gender Studies Department fosters inquiry into structures and modes of power as they are mediated by gender, sexuality, race and ethnicity, class, caste, nation and citizenship, age, and ability. Through teaching, scholarship, and service, we study and develop critical interdisciplinary and feminist theories and practices in collaboration with artists, activists, and scholars at Colorado College and beyond.

Vision

The Feminist & Gender Studies Department aims to embody a feminist ethos of critical engagement and responsiveness that is attentive to shifting relations of power; to be an intellectual, political, and creative space for the pursuit of exemplary collaborative initiatives locally, regionally, nationally, and transnationally; and to remain conversant with myriad intellectual legacies while reimagining the possibilities of feminist knowledge and practice.

Cross-listing Courses

As of Fall 2026, Feminist & Gender Studies is no longer accepting cross-listed courses from other departments. We are grateful for your interest in cross-listing and looking forward to collaborating with you in other meaningful ways. If you have any questions or ideas for collaboration, please email Professor Rushaan Kumar, chair of the FGS Department.
