About

The Feminist Collective is a writing and mentoring collective designed to bring into conversation a multi-scaled group of feminist thinkers, where undergraduate students, graduate students and faculty come together based on shared interests in intersectional feminism, anti-colonial, anti-sexist and anti-racist thought and practice. This year’s cohort consists of the following graduate students from the Department: Anahid SimitianAndrew ThomasNokuzola SongoKaela Sanborn-HumEstefania Rueda-Torres along with six undergraduate fellows. The collective is led by Professor Sharlene Mollett.

The Collective will meet weekly and tri-mentor around a collective writing project, professional development activities and events. We welcome visits from faculty, staff, and advanced graduate students looking to share professional development tips, career trajectories, works-in-progress, and research presentations (etc.).
