A partnership between the Gender Studies Institute of the University of Guyana (UG) and social media talk show Women’s Wednesdays will see the creation of a space for campus and community activism on issues of race, class, gender and sexuality.
Akola Thompson, founder of Women’s Wednesdays, a live Facebook talk show, explained that the partnership, which came into being in March, 2018, will focus on the creation of a space for campus and community activism.
Coming out of this partnership are proposed monthly campus conversations or community groundings, which Thompson emphasised are being conducted in an effort to ensure that messages are delivered to those on the ground.
