Around 2020, public syllabi or “hashtag syllabus” projects began circulating on social media platforms. These emerged as a means of engaging collectively with racial justice and the COVID-19 pandemic, among other topics. During this period, the Feminist Health Justice Collective (FHJC) — a group of students, faculty, and community members — came together to consider how to amplify and scale up the work of the public syllabus.

The Feminist Research Institute is proud to welcome affiliate faculty Christoph Lynn Hanssmann and seven new members to our team.

The UC Davis Feminist Research Institute seeks to change research culture to be more equitable and just. Key to achieving this is a livable wage and inclusive working conditions for all members of the research community. This is why FRI supports and stands in solidarity with the graduate students, postdocs, and academic student workers represented by UAW 2865, UAW 5810, and SRU-UAW in their strike. 

FRI is proud to present Future Faces of Research. This new series features the voices of undergraduate students writing about their experiences doing justice and equity focused research. The inaugural piece is written by Ellie Legg, FRI undergraduate researcher.

We started by sharing stories about a moment that made us glad to be a part of FRI or another learning/activist/professional community.
