CAMPUS ADVOCACY AND RESOURCES

Edmonia Lewis Center for Women and Transgender People
The Edmonia Lewis Center for Women and Transgender People is a collective of students, faculty, staff and administrators doing the work of transforming existing systems of oppression based on sex, gender, race, class, sexuality, age, ability, size, religion, and nationality. We recognize that these systems are interconnected and that our work must be multifaceted. We examine these connections as we create and maintain safe space, initiate and fund programming, and serve as a resource for the Oberlin College community. We strive to maintain a space committed to anti-heterosexism and anti racism, that will allow us to support and advocate for those historically disenfranchised on the basis of gender: women and transgender people. The mission of the ELC is to be a part of the struggles for social justice worldwide.
