feminism is for everyone – bell hooks

Initiatives

To achieve our goals, the center has four pillars for initiatives. Each pillars guides the work we do towards a more just feminist future. Learn more about our current initiatives in each pillar.

Research

Global Queer Asias

Public Scholarship and Pedagogy

As part of our mission to promote public scholarship and engagement, we host a series called Public Feminism, which brings together UCSB scholars and community members for important conversations on gender, sexuality, and social justice.

Disability Pedagogy

In collaboration with the Department of Feminist Studies, we are co-hosting a year-long series of talks, workshops, classroom visits, meetings, and discussions with Dr. Angela Carter on academic ableism, disability justice, and feminist pedagogy in higher education.

The Pedagogy Lab

The Center for Feminist Futures is thrilled to announce a new collaboration with The Pedagogy Lab—a virtual higher education collective led by Dr. Caitlin Gunn.
