Feminist Studies’ 50th Anniversary activities are funded by the Humanities Division and a generous
$100,000 grant from the Mellon Foundation – one of 95 Affirming Multi-vocal Humanities grants
awarded to campuses across the country. This $18 million initiative aims to reinvigorate the study of
race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality at institutions of higher learning to equip a new generation
of students and citizens to engage in a multivocal democracy.
