How can I get an internship at a community organization that links to Womens, Gender, and Sexuality Studies? How do I structure an internship into my WGSS coursework?
The Internships Office, the Community Services Office, the Chair of WGSS, your advisor, and your instructor in the WGS course in which you may be enrolled are all resources that will help to answer these questions. The WGSS website lists a number of community organizations at which WGSS majors/minors have interned. Most introductory WGSS courses address the idea and purpose of interning at community organizations. Some specific course descriptions state clearly whether internships are required as part of the criteria or as part of the assignments. There is always an opportunity in the WGSS “core” courses to discuss with the instructor whether the internship you are enrolled in, during that particular term, may be integrated into your assignments.
