The U of A Women’s Centre exists to provide a supportive environment for education, networking and organizing around women-specific issues within the campus community and beyond. The Centre has a few functions.
First, it is a space dedicated to community building and activism, supporting women and women-positive groups to connect, dialogue, organize and create around issues and ideas. We offer funding and administrative resources to support groups in carrying out their projects.
Second, the Centre works to support everyone’s learning about women and feminism. Our library of books, magazines and articles is here for use by students, faculty and community members. We can also help connect individuals to various women’s service providers on and off campus.
We welcome you if:
- you’ve never been involved in activism of any sort
- you’re new to feminist ideas
- you don’t identify with feminism but with womanist or woman-centered ways of being
This blog is run by the University of Alberta Women’s Centre Collective members to keep you updated on what’s going on at the Centre and in the community.
Come visit us in SUB 4-16, on the 4th floor of the Student’s Union Building - our winter semester hours can be found here!
