The University of Wisconsin System Women’s and Gender Studies Consortium, housed at UW-Madison in the Department of Gender and Women’s Studies, works to ensure the continued development of Women’s, Gender, and LGBTQ Studies in the UW System, to maintain our current national prominence in the field, and to create a unique inter-institutional model for educational innovation. Since 1989 the WGSC has been leading the effort to raise the profile and expand the resources devoted to Women’s and Gender Studies programs, certification, scholarship, teaching, and curriculum in the UW System.
The UW System Women's Studies Librarians' Office publishes bibliographies of books, periodicals and e-resources that cover topics related to women's studies, gender studies, gay and lesbian studies, transgender studies and more. The publications covered are international in scope.
