Five College Women's Studies Research Center

Mark your calendars for this Fall semester event!📆🍂

On Monday, September 8th we will be hosting a special Community Lunch & Open House on-site in the community room of FCWSRC!

It is a perfect opportunity to meet our Fall Research Associates, build Feminist community, and check out all that FCWSRC has to offer.

This event will follow our Monday morning Write-Together, just across the way in the Kern Center. The Monday Morning Write-Together begins at 10am and the Open House & Lunch begins at 12pm. If you can attend one or both, we would be delighted to have your company either way!

We will bring lunch, and you can bring yourself! Hope to see you there!

For more info, check out our website. There is a link in our bio.

We are so grateful to continue with our tradition of hosting Monday morning Write-Togethers at Hampshire College! It can be a nice way to ease into your work week with a productive and dedicated head start on those gnarly writing projects.

All disciplines and genders are welcome to join. Make sure to check out our website (link in bio) for more information about our mailing list and upcoming events.

We hope to see you all there!

We had so much fun last week at our final Pop-Up Writing event of the Summer! We will be getting back into the writing groove here in a few weeks -- more on that soon.

It was such a hot day last Tuesday that we weren't able to have a picnic at lunch, but we were able to join together for a cold, refreshing pint at The Moan & Dove after a long, productive day of writing. It was great fun in great company!

Keep an eye open for more information on our upcoming events. We hope to see you all soon!

A quick hello from the FCWSRC during these slower summer months!

Some recent scenes from end-of-semester happenings at the FCWSRC! Pictured are our spring reception, the last undergraduate Research Collaboratory meeting of the semester, and a beloved tree in bloom right outside of our stretch of offices on Hampshire College campus.

We're excited to host our annual Kick-Off the Summer Writing Retreat in the Hampshire College Red Barn from June 2nd through 4th! We hope that the retreat grants space and time to move feminist scholarship forward as faculty, staff, and graduate students transition into their summer workflows.

The deadline to RSVP is Friday, May 23, and the event will be capped at 50 participants. Space is expected to fill quickly—early registration is recommended.
