International Women's Day 2025

On March 5, 2025, The Center for the Study of Global Gender Equity (CSGGE) and the Humanities Research Institute (HRI) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign co-hosted our eighth annual event, “11 Women Who Changed the World: Untold Stories” bringing together faculty, staff, students, and community members to recognize people who have made a difference in academia.

The event featured 11 speakers from across our university and community.  Each speaker had 5 minutes to tell the story of a woman who made important contributions to the scholarship, discipline and/or broader academic community life.
