Don't miss the final CWGE Research Seminar of the Spring!   Higher Education Administration PhD Candidate Loni Stouffer will present her research, "Navigating Feminist Work in the United States' Higher Education Landscape: Stories of Leaders of Women's and Gender Centers," which centers the stories that directors of campus-based Women's and Gender Centers (WGC) share about their experiences doing feminist work in the United States' current political climate and in states (Ohio, Nebraska, Tennessee, and Idaho) that have proposed legislation that directly challenges diversity, equity, and inclusion work in higher education. This thought-provoking session will explore how these directors navigate significant external pressures while continuing to provide vital support services that address campus inequities and advocate for marginalized students.    Why You Should Attend:  Gain a deeper understanding of current issues Engage in an interactive discussion Network with fellow students, faculty, and staff Please RSVP by contacting cwge@bgsu.edu, and indicate whether you plan to attend in person or via Zoom.
