Equity Advocates

Equity Advocates

Equity Advocates are a group of men* faculty, staff and administrators who participate in a two day, train-the-trainer style workshop, and then work to continue campus engagement and education for themselves and others, on issues of gender equity while also serving as proponents of gender equity in their departments and units. Equity Advocates facilitate Equity Allies workshops.

*We recognize that not all people identify as "man" or "woman", so if you identify outside of the gender binary, please know that you are welcome to apply to the group that is best connected to your identity and/or lived experience.

• Attend Equity Advocates training session.
• Facilitate short workshops for Equity Allies (1-2 times per semester).
• Participate in meetings with the Women’s Advisory Council and with other Equity Advocates.
• Participate in key UD Men for Gender Equity events.
• Advocate for equitable treatment of women faculty and staff on campus.
