" Driven by the pursuit of justice, I aim to promote democratic institutions and bolster equity for all. In this manner, I will utilize the skills I gain from the Millennium Fellowship to affect social change through empathetic understanding and empowerment, particularly as it pertains to the rights and recognitions of Indigenous peoples. I am excited to collaborate with innovative and impassioned peers in pursuit of this critical mission. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Structural Sexual Violence on College Campuses

We engaged in this project to research and document elements of structural sexual violence on college campuses. Within this subject, our cohort sought to make visible what is typically thought of as invisible, namely the mechanisms of culture and policy regarding sexual violence on college campuses. With this focus at the forefront of our work with structural elements of sexual violence, we sought to further explore methodology for analysis, implementing various research techniques in engaged practice. The report below details the importance of this issue, the work we did to advance research on the issue, and recommended steps towards the future.
