“As an early tenure-track professor, the Institute for Feminist Academic Psychologists was an invaluable experience. I loved the opportunity to have a space to explore my career trajectory with other feminist academics. The presentations about feminist scholarship and mentorship helped me reach my goal of tenure. Finally, I cherish the validation and support I received at this Institute's meeting.”

“At the 2016 Institute, I was able to connect with like-minded psychologists and to consider how my feminist identity interfaces with my work as an academic. The weekend was a rich source of collegial support, teaching ideas, and professional guidance. I left with a stronger sense of my place in my university and in the field of psychology more broadly. ”
Grace Deason, University of Wisconsin- La Crosse

As an early career clinical psychologist, this provided me with wonderful connections to other like-minded feminists and individuals engaged in social justice work. The speakers were excellent and I gained new ideas for my teaching. In addition, the small group discussions provided a great outlet for discussing professional development, career goals, and challenges faced as a feminist academic.
