A statement from the Department of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies:
In light of recent conversations about sexual harassment and emotional exploitation
in academia, we, the faculty in the Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies
at Stony Brook University, are reflecting on our own evolving practices and on our
role as feminist advocates on our campus. We would like to take this opportunity to
share our thoughts on these pressing issues.

WGSS Professor Lisa Diedrich presents at Stony Brook's first ever campus-wide Cultural
Competency Seminar on Tues, Oct. 9.
The seminar, required for all faculty and staff, was implemented as a way to provide
practical advice for student and colleague interactions and reinforce Stony Brook's
commitment to the prevention and elimination of all forms of discrimination, harassment,
and sexual misconduct.
5th year WGSS PhD candidate, Alexandra Novitskaya, was just awarded the Association
for Women in Slavic Studies (AWSS) Graduate Research Award.
The research award is given annually to fund promising graduate-level research in
any field of Slavic/East European/Central Asian Studies by anyone identifying as a
woman or on a topic in Women's or Gender Studies related to Slavic Studies/East Europe/Central
Asia by a scholar of any gender. Congrats to you, Alex!
