Narrative (Collections description)
Collection description (optional)
The focus of the collection is on how attitudes toward gender and sexuality have changed over time and space. There is however a bias toward purchasing materials with a current focus.
Special collections narrative (optional)
There are no collections at Penn that a reader might think of as focusing on GSWS issues as such, though some are directly applicable. For example occupations historically thought of as falling under the sphere of women are covered in the Bates History of Nursing Archive and the Penn Culinary Collections.
Introduction & general advice
The preponderance of GSWS faculty have social science affiliations and most research takes place in that axis.
