Students

Students are core participants at every level of BCRW’s work, working on research projects with faculty and activist collaborators, assisting with and producing original content for BCRW publications (including S&F Online and the BCRW Blog) and video productions, developing and carrying out our core programming. Students can get involved in BCRW through student-organized social hours, collaborations with student groups, and paid research assistantships. Through formal work, study, knowledge production, and community building, students play a key part in developing BCRW’s intersectional feminist politics and practice in collaboration with faculty, activists, artists, and our broader communities.
