Join us as our podcast explores the work alumni, faculty, students, and staff cultivate in the branches of Gender & Women’s Studies. As we unpack in-depth stories from our guests, GWS IN ACTION brings to the forefront the expansive and intersectional reach of a Gender Studies degree in and beyond the walls of academia.
Check out our latest episode: "All Aboard the Big Gay Bus Trip" Featuring legal advocate & professor Abby Churchill.
In this episode of the GWS IN ACTION podcast, Dr. Katherine Phelps sits down with GWS Alum Abby Churchill. In an engaging conversation with Dr. Kate, Abby unpacks memories of formative classes in and around Gender Studies, her journey to law school, her time as founder of Trans Law Help Wisconsin, a non-profit based in Madison that provides legal information and resources to trans and non-binary folks across Wisconsin and beyond, and her time now teaching LGBTQ+ law at the University of Wisconsin Law School.
