Gender Institute for Teaching and Advocacy at MSU Denver Archive, 1973- today

The Gender Institute for Teaching and Advocacy (GITA) digital repository houses archival materials collected by GITA, previously the Institute for Women’s Studies and Services (IWSS). Materials document feminist activism at MSU Denver and on Auraria Campus, in addition to events, newsletters, letters, hate-mail, papers and documents regarding gender, women’s and sexualities studies and services offered to students affected by sexism and other forms of oppression. Materials range from the 1970s until today. By making this work accessible GITA recognizes the decades of feminist, queer and anti-racist work the Institute, generations of students, the university and local and global communities have led. In preserving the memory, we hope that many more generations find inspiration in this archive to document, analyze, strategize and continue the work to end sexism and all forms of oppression.
