Who We Are

Our mission is simple: to get together informally, to provide support for each other as students and as instructors, to exchange ideas and experiences, and to learn from each other. In a predominantly white university, and with the fast-pace of graduate life, we recognize the importance of a friendly social and pedagogical community that attends to our particular interests and needs as graduate women of color. It is also a political forum through which we can push for more women of color spaces, and more transnational feminist and women of color centered courses, on the graduate and undergraduate levels.

And though the seed of this caucus may have started at the women's studies department, we aim to reach out to more women, queer, and transpeople of color in other departments at OSU, particularly departments such as African and African American Studies, Comp. Studies, Latin American Studies, Indian American Studies, and others.
