Paying homage to college and university women’s centers

What parallels might exist between the roots of cultural center work and women’s center work? In this chapter, three women of color describe their early careers in women-centered work and their evolution into their current roles at a center for diversity and inclusion at a university without a women’s center. The authors explore the possibilities for women’s centers within new university structures more broadly defined under “equity, diversity, and inclusion”; discuss implications for practitioners; and offer lessons to the profession as a whole in its efforts to attract and retain women of color.
