Women Faculty Forum
WFF Mission
- Promote scholarship on gender and scholarship about and by women across all schools of the university.
- Foster gender equity throughout the university.
- Promote collaboration and networking on these issues between faculty, students, administration, and alumnae
The Yale Women Faculty Forum (WFF) emerged from the effort, during Yale's tercentennial year, to highlight the presence of women at the university and the accomplishments of Yale alumnae. Professors and staff from across the campus -- from diverse fields in the college, the professional and graduate schools -- came together to develop programs for the Tercentennial. We learned not only that we enjoy doing work together but also that there is a great deal more that we could yet do. To that end, with the support of the President and administration, the Council of the WFF is continuing to work in conjunction with alumni/ae and interested faculty and students to foster community for the many women at Yale and to deepen our understandings of the effects and implications of gender on all fields of thought.
