We are thrilled to showcase work by WGSS majors at
URECA’s Undergraduate Research Symposium
, this year in a virtual format.
This year two WGSS majors submitted posters for the event:
Lucy Gordon (supervised by Prof. Liz Montegary) on “Parenting During a Pandemic: Re-Imagining
Childcare after COVID-19”
and
Nicole Vion (supervised by Prof. Lisa Diedrich) on “The Politics of Female Rage in
Queer Music.”
Check out their amazing projects here.

We are now over one year into the coronavirus pandemic. In March 2020, we closed the
WGSS office at Stony Brook University and went into lockdown.
We decided it would be fun to create a
#WGSSPandemicPlaylist
that brings together music that has helped WGSS faculty, students, and alums during
this difficult time. Happy listening!
