Gender Equity Micro-Credential
The Women’s and Gender Studies Program (WGSP) invites all MC employees and students
to earn the Gender Equity Badge – a micro credential that will connect academic knowledge
with social activism focused on gender equity and intersectionality. This badge is
an opportunity to deepen knowledge about social constructions and the ways they influence
various aspects of life and society as a whole.
Through interactive workshops and discussions and independent activities and reflections,
participants will gain important background information and resources to better understand
how gender constructions intersect with other identities and impact us as individuals
and as a society. They will also analyze how social movements can operate effectively
and how to apply this knowledge in daily interactions and communications. More details on the badge and rubric can be found here (PDF, 
) .
Successful completion of the badge requires submitting a portfolio of activity materials
to be assessed and evaluated using the Gender Equity Badge Rubric. Please consult
with the Collegewide Coordinator of Women’s and Gender Studies, Dr. Leah Sneider,
to prepare and submit your portfolio for assessment.
This program is open to all MC faculty, staff, and students.
