Job outlook for GWS (gender, women's, and sexuality) PHDs?

[suisui]

I have read on several websites that the WGS departments nationwide are still expanding and hiring. Can anybody provide some background information on the origins and histories of WGS departments? To what extent does this claim holds true? How possible for a WGS phd focusing on sociology approach to secure a position in sociology departments?

Take a look at job ads and recent hiring in sociology to get a sense of whether WGS PhDs are competitive for and able to secure a position in a sociology department. Most of the sociology job ads I've seen ask for a PhD in sociology.

Thanks for your clarification! One follow up question: where do you usually find recent hiring in sociology? Thanks
