Feminism is alive and well at the University of Denver.(In Her Own Words:)
Conventional wisdom says today's students reject feminism and women's groups languish on campus. No so at the private University of Denver, where a Women's Coalition represents six different women's groups: undergraduates, graduates, support staff, middle management, upper administration and faculty.
Annemarie Vaccaro-Phillips, sociology professor and director of DU's International Living & Learning Center, researched the six groups as a case study in campus feminism. She spoke at the March 2004 conference of the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA) in Denver, along with three past and present leaders of DU's Undergraduate Women's Council (UWC).
Investigating women's experiences and attitudes, she compared groups.
