We are happy to announce that we are opening recruitment for the team coordinating the activities of the Student Chapter of the Gender/Sexuality Research Group at the ASC!

So far, the Student Chapter has been coordinated by three graduates of the American Studies Center: Oliwia Kulikowska, Kamila Klavia Bagińska, and Aleksandra Julia Malinowska, under the academic supervision of a long-time member of the Gender/Sexuality Research Group, Dr. Aleksandra Kamińska. This year, we would like to invite new members of the ASC community (and not only) to our team, in order to coordinate the next series of events and, above all, to make our space available to different classes of graduates at the BA and MA level.

Would you like to see what the work of the Student Chapter looks like from the inside and have an impact on our future activities? Apply!

In the new year, we want to continue creating a space dedicated to people interested in feminist and queer theory at every stage of advancement. Apart from the hope of creating a platform for students to present their own research, invite international lecturers and exchange ideas, we also want to build a safe-space, a community of people supporting each other in their academic or activist endeavors. And most importantly – we want to invite more of you, the student body, to our team! It doesn’t matter whether you had accompanied us to all of last year’s events or you have just joined the University community, our Team is waiting for your application

We invite you to our recruitment meeting, planned for Nov 14, 2024 at 4:45 PM if you want to learn more about how we work and what we offer. We want to hear your ideas, give you a platform and know-how to co-create the Student Chapter this year

The information meeting is open to anyone interested.
If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at: gendersexualitystudentchapter@gmail.com
