Women and Gender Studies
Associate Faculty
Faculty across the campus support the work of the Women and Gender Studies Program by teaching the courses that contribute to the WGS curriculum, serving on committees for the program and its projects, and doing research on feminist and gender issues in their disciplines. These faculty are drawn from departments and programs in the College of Interdisciplinary Studies, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the College of Community and Public Service, and the Seidman College of Business.

I’ve been associated with the WGS program since I began teaching at GVSU in 1999. WGS students often enroll in the Feminist Philosophy class that I taught for many years, and which is counted towards students’ degrees in the WGS program. Additionally, I am a member of Tri Iota and have long-standing friendships and professional relationships with my colleagues associated with the program.

History Department
I work on women and gender in early modern Spain. My book, Guardianship, Gender, and the Nobility in Early Modern Spain, came out with Ashgate Press in January 2010. The book focuses on the role of aristocratic women in early modern Spain who were guardians of their children and thus the heads of large noble estates from 1350 to 1750. I'm currently working on a project on the mothers of illegitimate children in early modern Spain. I also teach various history courses on women and gender in early modern Europe, and I am the faculty advisor for the student group Voices for Healthy Choices.
