Women of Color Feminisms

Faculty in Feminist Studies foreground the centrality of race and racialization in shaping social institutions and emphasize the impact of gender, race, class, and sexuality in shaping our lives. Our research and teaching examine how women of color are disproportionately impacted by gendered health disparities, exploitative labor conditions, economic precarity, and restrictions on reproductive autonomy while also highlighting their roles in envisioning and enacting transformative justice. At the same time, we foreground the critical contribution of women of color scholars, artists, activists, writers, and filmmakers creating a vision for more equitable futures.
