Access to higher education and the programs that teach people how to articulate the relationship between racial justice, queer organizing, labor activism, feminism(s) and other movements for equality are crucially important at this moment—but alarmingly at risk.
Author: UW System Women’s and Gender Studies Consortium (WGSC)
The UW System Women’s and Gender Studies Consortium (WGSC) is a network of University of Wisconsin System Women’s and Gender Studies programs and system wide initiatives. The Consortium is designed to enhance student learning and service to students; support multiculturalism and inclusion; lead efforts to develop and integrate intersectional feminist scholarship; and strengthen connections between campuses and communities. Since 1989, the WGSC has been leading the effort to raise the profile and expand the resources devoted to Women’s and Gender Studies programs, certification, scholarship, teaching, and curriculum in the UW System. We stand in solidarity with those protesting institutionalized racism, white supremacy, and police brutality in the United States and around the world.
