Testimonial
"Obtaining the Feminist Studies certificate was a critical part of my educational development. It provided me more resources to incorporate gender, in an interdiscipinary context, as an essential part of my pedagogy. In every political science course I teach, I integrate women authors (including those of color and from the Global South), women’s rights, and intersectionality with race, class, and gender with my roots for these in theWomen, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) program. As a doctoral student, my research was supported by the Wood/Raith Gender Identity Living Trust Fellowship. One stream of my current research investigates issues of gender and race focusing on Mary Bibb, the first African American woman to graduate from Framingham State University who, with her husband, published one of the first African American newspapers in Canada focusing on the anti-slavery movement in the 1800s."
