Adda Birnir and Darrow Vanderburgh-Wertz

Adda and Darrow created a series of posters to raise awareness about acquaintance rape on campus and in the New Haven area.  Their posters were designed a la the Guerrilla Girls — except instead of critiquing the art world, they exposed the expressions of misogyny that often go overlooked and unaddressed in our communities.

Aditi Anand

Aditi developed a documentary film on Growing Through Sewing, a program in New Haven that prepares women with life-skills training, counseling, and income-generating sewing skills, so that they can use their abilities to support themselves.  Aditi’s film documented the program and helped promote the products that these women created.

Lauren Yee

Lauren conducted interviews of Yale alumnae, focusing on alumnae from the years 1969-1973 and alumnae the last five years.  She transcribed these women’s reflections on their time at Yale, their experiences, and their lives since college, creating an oral history performance to engage current students.

Janet Noh

Janet planned a one-day workshop for female high school students in New Haven, to encourage women interested in careers in business and business ventures.  She invited local businesswomen, as well as some women from national organizations, to conduct activities and workshops. She continued this project in 2007-2008.
