What we do...In general, the group collects and analyzes data to explain current social, political, and economic problems faced by men and women. The group disseminates information, generates awareness, facilitates community engagement, and aims to influence public policy. One of the group’s primary strategies is conducting action research that uncovers policies to create greater opportunities for women in particular and men in general. Thus, the GSG brings attention and awareness to gender issues at DSU, the Mississippi Delta, nationally, and globally.
