Priority will be given to proposals\/projects that are intersectional in focus or approach. The center acknowledges that there are various interpretations of intersectionality, but primarily recognizes intersectionality as a way of understanding and analyzing the complexity of the world and distributions of power with specific attention to how people’s lives are shaped by multiple axes of identity that overlap, including but not limited to race, gender, and class.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Dively Committee co-funds on-campus events that focus broadly on gender and sexuality, with an emphasis on queer culture.\u00a0 Funds are made available for lectures, workshops, and other events that address these issues, especially those of specific concern to members of the queer community. Successful proposals engage the entire campus community and seek funding from a variety of sources to support the event. Most successful proposals will be awarded between $100 and $300.<\/p>\n
