Our Vision, Mission and Goals

Our Vision

The Gender Institute for Teaching and Advocacy’s vision is of a queer feminist future in which people and communities are free from all forms of oppression and fear. We envision a world in which liberated communities live with dignity and joy!

Our Mission

The feminist mission of the Gender Institute for Teaching and Advocacy is to provide space for those most impacted by the intersecting oppressions present in our society and everyday lives. As such, we collaborate through academics, advocacy, and programming to equip students and communities with the skills to empower themselves to abolish systems of oppression through education towards liberation.

Our Goals

The Gender Institute for Teaching and Advocacy’s goals are to create space for oppressed groups to build community, organize for liberation, and engage in self-care.  Further, our goals are to teach critical analysis, communication, and organizing skills so that students feel empowered to work against the systems of oppression in their lives and communities.
