At the G+JI, we foster intersectional and interdisciplinary research on gender justice. By engaging faculty and students, we catalyze dialogue and collaboration on critical issues such as gender, sexuality, feminism, antiracism, and social equity.
Learn more about Our InitiativeThe Gender+ Justice Initiative (G+JI) at Georgetown University aims to address the pressing problem of gender inequality, discrimination, and injustice across intersecting identities. Our proposed approach involves fostering a hub for interdisciplinary research, advocacy, and knowledge production while creating an inclusive community for faculty, students and the larger community.
We envision our work as such:
Why the “+”? The “+” in “Gender+ Justice” signifies that while gender is central to our focus, we also address how it intersects with race, class, sexuality, disability, and other markers of identity, which can compound experiences of oppression.
We are hiring a Programs & Communications Assistant! This is a part-time role for current Georgetown students interested in design, social media, and storytelling.
