The Lounge at the CWE podcast
Living rooms have always been transformative spaces for feminist consciousness-raising, organizing, and community building. Our lounge at the Center for Women at Emory (CWE) is no different. In fact, this where the true magic of the CWE happens. It’s a judgment-free zone where women come to make new friends, have intergenerational conversations, and expand their views. We’re excited to bring you this experience virtually on our new weekly podcast featuring the professional and student staff of the CWE. These are the views of the individuals that work at the CWE, not Emory University.
Praxis: CWE-WGSS Student Leadership Board
Praxis is a hub of students who are looking for ways to integrate feminist theory and practice. A joint initiative between the Department of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and the Center for Women, Praxis seeks to introduce feminist theory into non-classroom spaces to apply feminist ideas in the service of the community. Praxis also exposes students to professionals and mentors outside of the academy whose work employs feminist principles, perspectives, and methods.
La Terraza
La Terraza centers and provides a space for Emory students who have lived experiences in, identify with or are committed to the empowerment of the Latinx/a community. This is a time for these students to be their authentic selves, build community, discuss topics related to the intersections of Latinidad, gender, and sexuality, and ultimately thrive at Emory. La Terraza meets once a month at the Center for Women.
The Kitchen Table
The Kitchen Table centers and provides a space for students who have lived experiences in, identify with or are committed to the empowerment of Black women to relax, enjoy time together, and build a network of support while unpacking portrayals of Black life in pop culture. The Kitchen Table meets once a month at the Center for Women.
The REAL Conference
The REAL Conference is an annual event supported by the CWE that aims to recognize, empower, and affirm Latinas at Emory, in Atlanta, and beyond. It centers and provides a space for those who have lived experiences in, identify with or are committed to the empowerment Latinas. It celebrates their efforts and achievements; empowers them to cultivate the confidence and tools needed to achieve their goals; and affirms the Latinx identity showing the beauty and power in their Latinidad.
Harriet Tubman Hike
The Center for Women at Emory hosts an annual hike at dusk celebrating the liberator Harriet Tubman, who entered and transitioned in the month of March. The hike celebrates her legacy of resistance, liberation, self-determination, and undeniable love for her people. Participants on the hike will learn how she risked her life as the conductor of the Underground Railroad and get a sense of what it was like to maneuver through nature using her skills as an unsung naturalist.
Black Women in the Wilderness
Black Women in the Wilderness explores the use of outdoor recreation, self-care, skill building, and community wellbeing as tools for building health and wellbeing for centers and provides a space for students who have lived experiences in, identify with or are committed to the empowerment of Black women.
