Our faculty center the role of race and racialization in the institutions that shape our lives, with a focus on the interconnected and mutually-constituted systems of gender, race, and sexuality. In our research and teaching, we illuminate the ways that women of color are often hit first and hardest by gendered health disparities, exploitative labor conditions, economic crises, and attacks on women’s reproductive autonomy.
