Big Red Feminisms

Making Cornell equitable since 1865

Welcome

2022 marks fifty years of Feminist, Gender and Sexuality Studies and thirty years of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Studies at Cornell University. Marking the event, students enrolled in Introduction to Feminist, Gender and Sexuality Studies (FGSS 2010) in Fall 2021 looked to Cornell’s past as inspiration for Cornell’s future. This site is a culmination of these efforts: it salvages Cornell’s hidden history of feminist and queer activism on campus and documents contemporary feminist and queer actions organized by Cornellians enrolled in FGSS 2010 in Fall 2021. We hope that these projects from the past and present have the potential to spark future collaborations and demonstrations.

 

Support for digital stories of Cornell’s feminist and queer past is made in collaboration with Cornell’s Center for Teaching Innovation’s Any Person, Many Stories project and was made possible by cooperation with Brenda J. Marston, Curator, Human Sexuality Collection & Cornell University Library Liaison to the Feminist, Gender, & Sexuality Studies and LGBT Studies Programs.
