Instead of our annual welcome reception, we will hold our first town hall meeting on Friday September 11, 4-7pm, on Zoom. Women’s and Gender Studies (WGS) integrates feminist theories and practices to challenge socio-economic, philosophical, representational, and political hierarchies. Based on these facts, and the extraordinary circumstances of this past year, the FCWSRC Steering Committee has decided to extend the current cohort's associateship status for 2021-2022 and will not send out a call for applications for new associates for next year. That is, as more women became more present in higher education as both students and faculty, questions arose about the male-centric nature of most courses and curricula. Women’s Studies at CSU is committed to investigating the intersections of class, race, ethnicity, sexual identities, queer identities, non-heteronormative identities, age, ability, citizenship, empire, nation, and national origin along the social structures and power continuums of difference, power, and privilege. WSRC is the only HKU-based entity which brings researchers, policy makers, leaders from different sectors within the broader community together around issues of gender, sexuality and diversity across disciplines, cultures, and contexts. A reprieve from insisting that there is work to do, and a chance to get down to it.

The Women's Health Research Center is creating a new era in women's health. The Women’s Studies Certificate Program currently has over 160 students from 30 different programs and comprised of 86 faculty members from a wide range of programs as well. As we grapple with anger, disappointment, and concerns about the nature of the Center’s ongoing relationship to the consortium, it is clear that insofar as the FCWSRC is the networks we’ve been building to support the reworlding work of feminist research, the center is far from closed.

On June 16, 2020, Five Colleges, Inc. informed the incoming and outgoing directors of the Five College Women’s Studies Research Center (FCWSRC) that the Center would lose its funding for AY 2020-21. The Center hosts the Wittig Postdoctoral Fellowship in Feminist Biology. Its contribution to the development of Women's Studies is widely recognized both nationally and internationally. Alice Paul Center for Research on Gender, Sexuality and Women Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies at Penn is comprised of two separate but related entities—the Alice Paul Center for Research on Gender, Sexuality and Women, and the Penn Program on Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies—each with distinct but complementary projects. I believe in feminism as a site of struggle and feminist scholarship as a critical-creative project of undoing and/as worldmaking.
