Weekly Blog
Hey Folks! We're the Women's and Gender Studies Students' Association (WGSSA) of Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
We are all students who have an interest in Social Justice and Gender Equality, so we wanted to provide a space where we can foster a more shared, communal environment for folks to read content about topics that matter to them, from other students.
Join us here every Feminist Friday to read new blog posts from our WGSSA Executive Members, as well as folks from the general public. We're accepting submissions from people who aren't in WGSSA, who have a passion for Social Justice, and would like to have their voices heard. We'd love to hear from you, so feel free to review the submission guide and send us your work!
Submission Guidelines
Original work, or a previously written work that has been reworked/updated
Add references if that is necessary to your writing (i.e. if you are quoting or citing someone else, then please cite their work and ideas). If you are only using your own personal experience, then sources are not needed.
​
We are interested in collecting and posting inclusive and intersectional feminist content, so please free to send submissions that contain any social justice topics, ranging anywhere from gender, race, class, disability, body image, 2slgbtq+ experiences, etc.
​
We want to promote and foster a safe space, where folks can feel comfortable sharing their own experiences and stories. We will NOT accept or post any content that goes against our social justice values and that doesn’t promote inclusivity.
​
When you submit your post, please let us know if you want your name to be published with your work or if it should be published as “Anonymous”.
​
If your work is selected to be published, then we will contact you beforehand. Blog posts are scheduled and will be posted on Fridays.
​
Send your submissions to wgssa.lusu@lakeheadu.ca in either a word doc or google doc, or just pasted into the email :)
