At Teach About Women, we believe our work is strongest when our team reflects the tremendous diversity of the students, families, and educators we serve.
Diversity and Inclusion are central to our mission.
At Teach About Women, we believe our work is strongest when our team reflects the tremendous diversity of the students, families, and educators we serve. In our community, we value a wide range of identities and experiences. We define ‘women’ broadly, welcoming those who identify as femme, trans, non-binary, and gender expansive. Following the lead of Dr. Kimberlé Crenshaw, we also acknowledge that many women face multiple and intersecting forms of oppression. We actively seek to address the ways that gender intersects with systems of oppression such as racism, classism, ableism, heterosexism, colonialism, and xenophobia. We recruit BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ educators and seek to partner with organizations from communities that have been historically underserved by America’s schools.
Our educators have received advanced degrees from the following institutions.
