Welcome to the Gender/Sexuality Funding and Other Opportunities Blog!

This is a blog on which I post opportunities -- jobs, internships, fellowships, grants, CFPs, and the like -- of interest to current and recent students working in the area(s) of gender and sexuality studies and activism. Many graduate fellowships and postdocs listed are of general interest and open to students/PhDs/professionals working in gender or sexuality studies. VAPs and tenure-track positions listed are either highly gender- or sexuality-studies relevant or open explicitly to scholars working in one or both of these areas.
