The Women’s and Gender Studies department opened a Women’s and Gender Non-Conforming Center in Fall 2019 to accompany some of the curricular revisions we are undertaking. These changes, which will re/imagine how the major and minor operate, as well as what is taught in the introductory class and capstone, will reflect current trends in the field and current offerings at our benchmark schools. It is our hope, and the hope of the Women’s and Gender Studies advisory committee, and the hope of former Provost Linda Strong Leek, that together, these changes—the introduction of a new center as well as new course offerings—will attract the burgeoning number of gay, trans, queer, and non-binary students who have flocked to Berea College in recent years but who routinely report that they do not feel represented on campus.
