Students in SLU's Department of Women and Gender Studies have the opportunity to work on projects that take what they learn in the classroom into their everyday lives. Learn more about some of these projects:

• The F Word @SLU: The F Word is a feminist radio show on KSLU created by Daschel Chavez, Meadow Konkol and Olivia Greene for the final activism project in WGST 3850: Feminism in Action. You can listen to previous airings either on or .
• Humans of SLU & D-Talk: For their final project in WGST 3850: Feminism in Action, students Annesley Clark, Malaya Siy and Ajlia Mandal studied disability at SLU. The was created and dedicated to students as it focuses on how people experience disability on our campus.  See their presentation. Out of their project, the student group, "D-Talk" was created. Annesley Clark, one of the students on the project, said, "One of the elements of the course was community service, and as someone interested in disability, I decided to survey disabled students, faculty, and staff at SLU about what they wished was different about the experience of disability on campus. Many participants noted that they wished there was a space for just students with disabilities to meet, talk, and advocate for themselves, and so I set to work. With the help of the Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources, and with the influence of my research and activism in the Women's and Gender Studies department, I have created D-Talk, a group for students who identify as disabled. It has been amazing to work with those groups and to create such a space, and I am thrilled that SLU now offers disabled students a meeting place!"
