National Women's Studies Association (NWSA) was founded in 1977 to further
the development of women's studies at every educational level and setting. Today
it is a broad-based professional association for feminist scholars and
educators, encompassing members and concerns grounded in activism and
education in schools and communities throughout the U.S.A. as well as other
countries. Membership is open to individuals and groups involved in feminist
teaching, learning, research and service. NWSA is
committed to work for a world in which all persons can develop to their
fullest potential and be free from all the ideologies and structures that
have oppressed some for the advantage of others. NWSA recognizes the integral
connections among scholarship, activism, and teaching, and is committed to
advance the study and knowledge of all women and to create critical dialogue
on the production of knowledge and its application to social and political
practices and processes. To this
end, NWSA issues publications and holds annual conferences to stimulate,
share and promote knowledge, pedagogy, theory, and organizational models
appropriate to these purposes. Worldwide Organization of Women's Studies |
