Silberman Center for Gender & Sexuality

The Silberman Center for Sexuality and Gender (SCSG) is the first scholarly center in the United States focusing on sexuality and gender housed within a school of social work. It is based at the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College, (CUNY) – New York’s oldest and largest public school of social work. Building upon a core institutional mission of academic excellence in the public interest, SCSG engages and develops research, educational, and community-based projects and programs to inform socially just understandings of sexuality and gender. The Center is a vital hub for the creation of sex-positive, gender-inclusive social work practice and research environments and a more inclusive, informed society from the individual to the public policy levels. https://silbermanscsg.com/
