Resources for Community
In Gender & Women's Studies, we create connections with our communities through our research and events. We're committed to exploring the ways that feminism, in both its political and scholarly traditions, can illuminate and create change in our communities in Denver and around the world.
We welcome you to learn more about our program and our faculty's areas of interest, and we hope you'll attend one of our on-campus or community events.
With Our Communities
Our teaching and research explores real issues that impact our local and global communities. Whether our faculty are working with local organizations to create community-engaged projects or our students are serving in internships to support grassroots change, we're deeply invested in the ways feminism and gender studies intersect in our communities.
