Intersectional Women's Center

Education

• Designing educational programming in the form of a non-credit bearing curriculum related to intersectional feminism, issues affecting women of color at UWEC, and decolonizing gender and sexuality.
• Consulting on course content and for campus groups to build an understanding of systemic oppressions and a critical vocabulary to describe how these systems affect marginalized individuals within the intersections of sexism, misogyny, and race alongside other forces like colonialism, xenophobia, ageism, transphobia, ableism, homophobia, and classism. 
• Providing seminars for student, faculty, staff, and community groups to explore racial, ethnic, and cultural identities from a feminist perspective through readings and conversations.

Engagement

• Providing community-building and intellectual engagement resources that respect the lived experiences of people of color within a predominantly White campus community.
• Offering high-impact practices like internships, work study opportunities, and community teach-ins in collaboration with campus groups.
• Conducting institutional research and information-sharing related to campus policies, procedures, and complaint reviews in collaboration with the gender, race, ethnicity, and sexuality concerns of other UWEC offices and groups.

Activism

• Transforming research and engagement in intersectional feminism into activism that transforms the campus experience for all.
• Supporting students and campus organizations in using knowledge in intersectional feminism and a critical vocabulary to change systems and structures of oppression.
• Connecting faculty, staff, students, and the Eau Claire community through feminist network-building and organizing with an interest in feminist advocacy and intervention as needs demand.
