The mission of SexGenLab is to translate and disseminate knowledge about sexuality and gender to people outside as well as within the academy. Our work positions the most cutting-edge sexuality and gender research beyond problems, risks and minimization and towards resistance, strength and well being to be leveraged for social justice and human rights. Our tagline is “Critical Knowledge for Critical Times.” We create multiple forms of content on the sexgenlab.org website and share through social media. We use social media to build and engage audiences for these critical perspectives on gender and sexuality, issues as well as to drive traffic to our website resources.
All applicants must have excellent oral and written communication skills, general research and office skills, be detail-oriented, and be interested in gender and sexuality issues and critical perspectives (i.e., feminist, queer, intersectional, etc.). Applicants should also have the ability to think creatively and implement new ideas and strategies. All applicants must be able to work independently and also as part of a team. The internship satisfies General Elective credits in the 120 credit degree. If successful, ideally positions would be extended into the Fall and/or Spring terms. Please contact David Pavlosky/Internship Advisor at dmpavlosky@gmail.com if you have further questions on how to receive credit for the internship.
