GCWS Summer Feminist Learning Institute (Starting June 15, 2026)

[Suzanne Leonard]

Join us from June 15–30, 2026 for the inaugural GCWS Summer Feminist Learning Institute, featuring 4 fully online non-credit bearing courses ($420 each)

Frustrated by the misogyny, racism, and transphobia dominating today’s headlines? You aren’t alone and you don’t have to stay silent. These courses provide the historical context, sharp vocabulary, and community space you need to push back. Connect with a diverse network of peers, dive into critical feminist frameworks, and turn your frustration into informed, powerful action.

Our courses feature live sessions and intentionally small class sizes to ensure deep connection and high-level dialogue.

Course Selections:

 

Comrade Sisters: Lessons from Radical African American and Latina Feminist Struggles, 1960s-1970s

 

How Is Data a Question of Reproductive Justice? Sexual and Reproductive Rights in the Age of Data Politics

 

Sankofa as Sacred Writing Practice and Return to Ourselves

 

What Counts as Evidence? (And Who Decides?)
