Description
This grant aims to support the creation, expansion, or reinstatement of Feminist, Gender, and Women’s Studies academic programs at community and state colleges in the Santa Cruz and Monterey area. The initiative is designed to foster educational equity for women and gender-expansive individuals by promoting intersectional feminist analysis and supporting gender as a legitimate academic field. The foundation seeks institutional commitment, sustainability, and collaboration among grantees, and encourages programs that examine social inequality, intersectionality, and representation. Participation in a local Feminist Studies Collaborative is expected, with quarterly meetings to share ideas and best practices.
