ABOUT THE WOMEN'S CENTERS COMMITTEE
Women's
Centers have representation on the NWSA Governing Council as a standing
committee. This is more than a symbolic recognition of the important
role that women's centers play in feminist education.
NWSA
recognizes that "women's studies" is broader than what
happens in the classroom. NWSA acknowledges women's centers as chief
out-of-class feminist educators and encourages participation in the
national organization.
Campus-based
women's centers have a long history of working together with women's
studies to transform the curriculum, the campus environment, and
society at large. The Women's Centers Committee of NWSA provides
an opportunity for women's center directors, staff and others to
gather and share information, ideas, challenges, successes and support.
The Women's Centers Committee sponsors an annual pre-conference event
as well as sessions during the NWSA annual conference.

THE NWSA WOMEN'S CENTERS LISTSERV
The purpose of the CAList is to improve
communication and networking among center administrators in the
U.S., and also to provide assistance, trouble-shooting,
support, and information to each other.
This is an unmoderated discussion
list for center administrators, people involved in the nitty-gritty of developing
programming of all sorts, at all kinds of institutions.

Because it is crucial
that programs support our national organization, participants must hold current
institutional membership.

Call for Proposals: NWSA Handbook for Women’s Centers
We are seeking contributions for a handbook for women’s centers. The handbook is being developed by the National Women’s Studies Association Women’s Centers Committee; when complete, it will be available for download or purchase from the NWSA website.
The Handbook will provide overviews of “typical” women’s centers, sample practices and strategies for dealing with common concerns, as well as a selection of useful resources.
