A joint endeavor of NWSA, the NWSA Program Administration & Development Committee, and the NWSA Women of Color Caucus.
The deadline for 2008 has now passed
The WoCLP is designed to increase the number of women of color students and faculty within the field of women’s 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 studies or NWSA.
Applicants may include graduate students, faculty, and current program administrators who wish to be more involved in program or Association leadership.
Program benefits include:
- Valuable networking and professional development opportunities at the PAD pre-conference, the NWSA general conference, and via the WoCC
- One-year complimentary membership in NWSA
- Complimentary registration for the NWSA general conference and the PAD pre-conference
- Opportunities to meet and interact with other women of color who possess a similar interest in program administration, as well as women of color who already have experience with program administration
- The support, companionship, and advocacy of the WoCC
in conjunction with the PAD - An opportunity to shape the future of the NWSA and women’s studies as a field by participating and exchanging ideas
- Serve as a conduit for other women of color, particularly young women, to become more involved in women’s studies
