Next fall, students at the University of Arizona will be able to pursue an education in transgender studies in an initiative billed as the first of its kind.

 

Administrators recently posted four job openings on behalf of the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences seeking to hire professors who will teach exclusively on transgender studies in what one professor called an unprecedented initiative.

 

Gender systems are changing rapidly worldwide, and this is a serious social phenomenon that merits serious scholarly attention; thats why we are establishing this initiative, Susan Stryker, associate professor of gender and womens studies and director of the Institute for LGBT Studies, said in an email to The College Fix.

The job opportunities with that degree will be immense. "Mom, don't rent out my room yet."
