along to student who might be interested. We particularly want to
ensure that prospective students consider the possibility that recent
legislative actions and initiative votes attacking affirmative action,
immigrants, and ethnic studies in Arizona might be a reason to join us
in GWS at UA, not to stay away--if Arizona is to be ground zero in a
national political fight over race and education, some of us think this
is the place to be.<br>

Department of Gender and Women’s Studies at The University of Arizona
is currently accepting applications for our PhD and MA/JD programs. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">Our
PhD program trains scholars and researchers to produce original
knowledge as they build on the diverse histories, literatures, and
theories of--and addressing the relations among--gender, race,
ethnicity, sexuality, and transnational economic and political
processes. Our faculty offer particular expertise in Chicana/Latina
studies, LGBTQ/Sexuality Studies, feminist and other social movements,
transnationalism, and cultural studies. Through its affiliation with
the <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://sirow.arizona.edu/">Southwest
Institute for Research on Women</a> the department also contributes to
applied community-based research on women's and adolescent health,
women and incarceration, and projects related to border issues. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">The <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://ws.web.arizona.edu/">Department of
Gender and Women's Studie</a>s also welcomes applicants for the joint
MA/JD program in conjunction with the James E. Rogers <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.law.arizona.edu/">College of
Law</a>. This MA/JD prepares students to practice law with an
understanding of the historical and cultural dimensions of gender and
feminism, as well as the interconnections of gender, law, and public
policy, both nationally and internationally. The J.D./M.A. in Gender
and Women’s Studies is a four-year program. Students spend the first
year of study in the law school.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">The
University of Arizona is located in Tucson, Arizona, a vibrant and
diverse midsize city 60 miles from the US-Mexico border, featuring a
wide range of activist and cultural organizations. The university
population is likewise diverse; it has the highest proportion of
underrepresented US minority graduate students of any of its peer (AAU)
institutions. <br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica;">The
department currently provides financial support to all of its PhD
students.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="">In response to recent state legislative
actions, faculty and students in Gender and Women’s Studies, along with
others across the campus, have brought to bear their ongoing commitment
to research, teaching and community engagement on the issues of
immigration and ethnic studies for which Arizona has received so much
national attention. We welcome applications from those interested in
participating in these efforts.</p>
