WOMEN OF COLOR LEADERSHIP PROJECT

The WoCLP is designed to increase the number of women of color students and faculty within the field of women’s studies  and gender studies and, consequently, to have an impact on the levels of participation and power by women of color in the PA&D, NWSA, and in the field of women’s studies as a whole.

Women of color in women’s studies, ethnic studies, or related fields may apply if they aspire to leadership within women’s / gender studies or NWSA.

Applicants may include graduate students, faculty, and current program administrators who wish to be more involved in program or Association leadership.
