Learning to transform lives and communities …
Women’s Studies has taught me to be
conscious to what matters, to think
critically and act, and to continuously
progress forward. It has become a
guide, a mentor in my passion to work
locally and globally on social justice
for all living beings. It has taught me
to embrace not only my complexity
but the complexity that surrounds
us while getting at the root cause of
injustice. It is about transforming our
world into something better and it
will teach you all that was left out of
your school books.

Class of 2009
I joined the department of Women’s
Studies because it nourished my
academic hunger and supported
my engagement in current social
movements through volunteering
and community organizing. My
experience in the department
was simply self-empowering.
Learning from feminist activists
and philosophers of all backgrounds,
I learned to take leadership in my
personal life. Thus, finding work
in the non-profit sector was a quick
transition. Today, I am continuing
my education at UCSB and aiming
to achieve a PhD in Sociology
and doctoral emphasis in Feminist
Research.
I look back on my experience in the
program as one of the best times of my
life. I felt like I really grew as a person,
made a couple lifelong friendships
and connections, and received a great
foundation to build on for a lifetime
of learning.
