Women’s and Gender Studies minors Faize Alchakar, Genesis Barnes and Morgen Rhodes recently presented at the 2024 National Women’s Studies Association (NWSA) Annual Conference held during November 2024 in Detroit. The three UDM students participated in the roundtable discussion titled “Gen-Z Feminist Campus Life at Jesuit Institutions” with students from Fairfield University.
This student panel was part of a collaboration with Fairfield University, John Carroll University, and UDM. CHASS and UDM’s Women’s and Gender Studies Program hosted their fellow Jesuit universities on-campus and delivered two faculty and staff panels at the conference about teaching feminism on Jesuit campuses.
The National Women’s Studies Association leads the field of women’s, gender and sexuality studies. Established in 1977, NWSA has more than 2,000 members worldwide. The annual conference is the only annual meeting in the United States that is exclusively dedicated to showcasing the latest feminist scholarship.
