Fall 2013 Schedule
Check out the full schedule of Fall events hosted by the UW Oshkosh Women's Center.
Film Series
Join us several times throughout the term for our film series! Why a film series? In accordance with the Women's Center mission and vision, and in the context of the campus-wide focus on Liberal Education, our film series is designed to improve the intellectual and practical skills of our participants and to emphasize our responsibility as individuals to engage in active and integrated learning.
Panels on Popular Culture
These panels use popular culture as a mechanism to analyze how gender is understood. What does The Hunger Games popularity say about feminism, race, and the role of women? Is the Game of Thrones empowering for women? Join us for these panels on popular culture as we debate and discuss the role that popular culture has in our lives.
Housing Discrimination
Don’t be fooled by a smile and a handshake. Learn to recognize the signs of discrimination in rentals, sales, leases, mortgage lending, property appraisals, home -owner insurance, and real estate services.
FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture
FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture is a creative activist effort to upset the culture of rape and promote a culture of consent. We believe that a more difficult and honest conversation needs to happen in America to face the realities of sexual violence, and we envision a world where sex is empowering and pleasurable rather than coercive and violent. As activists, we are here to force the issue.
$tart$mart Salary Negotiation
Learning how to effectively negotiate a salary is one way to combat the wage gap. Not sure what "wage gap" is? It's the oft-cited statistic that women make 77 cents to a man's dollar. But it's more complicated than that. Race, ethnicity, and gender are all a factor, with Hispanic women facing the largest pay gap.
Global Google Hangouts
Connecting UW Oshkosh students, faculty and staff to activists around the world.
Brown Bag Lunches
The Women's Center hosts Brown Bag Lunches organized by Women's and Gender Studies. These sessions are aimed at promoting a dialogue about women's and gender issues in the workplace, campus, and life in general.
Rosie the Reader
Celebrate women's history with the Women's Center's children's story hour. This is our second Rosie the Reader!
Women's Center Field Trips
The Women's Center would like to provide students the opportunity to attend and support women athletes on campus. To do so we are offering a few field trips to home games on campus.
Wellness Programs
The Women's Center is pleased to announce the return of our popular Wellness Program! Join us for a class, relax, gain new friends, and get some physical exercise in a safe and welcoming environment.
