Sarah Doyle Women's Center

The Sarah Doyle Center for Women and Gender (SDCWG), formerly the Sarah Doyle Women's Center, is a center at Brown University, which "seeks to provide a comfortable, yet challenging place for students, faculty, and staff to examine the multitude of issues around gender".[1] It was named in honor of the prominent Rhode Island educator, Sarah Doyle. It is located at 26 Benevolent Street in Providence.

The SDCWG offers services and programs, and meeting space for university and community groups. The SDCWG houses an art gallery, an extensive library and resource center, a zine collection,[2] and a student lounge. It is affiliated with the Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women.[3]

The Sarah Doyle Gallery is a professional art gallery within the Center. It exhibits six to seven juried shows a year, and an annual commencement show. The goal of the gallery is to expose Brown students to high quality professional artwork on campus. The gallery openings offer a chance to interact with the artists, ask them questions, and occasionally enjoy talk from the artists. Artists shown in the last year include Lo Smith,[4] Satpreet Kahlon,[5] and Lois Harada.[6]

Women's History Series

Centering on March for Women's History Month, the Center organizes a series of speakers and events centering around a particular theme in Women's History. Events often overlap with other centers at the University and bring activists, academics, artists, and other thinkers and performance from beyond Providence to generate rich conversations around intersectional feminism. Past themes include Remixing Storytelling: Gender, Media, and Creative Expressions; Healing for Sustainable Resistance, Imagine Resistance: Movements for a Better World, and Envisioning Feminist Futures.[7] Summaries of each year's programming with lists of visiting lecturers and workshops can be found on the Sarah Doyle Website cited above.

Library

The library has over 4,000 volumes and films available to students, staff, and faculty, and subscribes to a variety of scholarly journals, news journals, and magazines.

Emergency resources

The SDC provides confidential crisis support and information for any Brown student dealing with sexual assault. Sexual Assault Response and Prevention Program is the main resource for helping students affected by sexual violence. Confidential services include support for a survivor or the friends of a survivor, help filing a complaint (if that is the student's choice) and educational programs for the student community. As part of the Advocates Program, SDWC staff members are trained to help any Brown student explore his/her options to address an incident of sexual assault or sexual harassment. Talking with an Advocate does not require a student to file a disciplinary complaint or pursue any specific course of action.

gollark: Me too!
gollark: The spec is too unclear.
gollark: Macron is strictly worse than Brain[REDACTED].
gollark: Python is slow and provides few static guarantees and has awful dependency management. Rust is too dependencyuous and often inflexible. Nim has basically no libraries or popular support. All other programming languages are dominated options, as far as I know, by my arbitrary standards.
