Building more just futures through leadership, inquiry and collaboration.
Mission
To cultivate research that moves us towards justice for all people and a restorative environment.
Vision
To live in a liberated world where all people can engage in the delight of curiosity, the creation of community, and the joy of discovery in research. Feminist research has tools to address histories of oppression and challenge harmful hierarchies of knowledge that continue to infuse research. When we redress these legacies, we can uphold the wisdom of marginalized voices and collectively create more impactful and accurate results in all disciplines. We move toward this vision with integrity, standing in our expertise, while also holding humility for what we do not know.
We define feminist research as:
Intersectional: encompassing sex and gender as they relate to other categories of difference such as race, class, ability, sexuality, and religion.
Inclusive: recognizing expertise across different spaces and disciplinary boundaries.
Justice-oriented: challenging structures of inequality in everyday interactions as well as social institutions, including academia itself.
Transformative: enacting positive change to end oppression and create a more just world.
