The Kaschak Institute for Social Justice for Women and Girls supports research, scholarship, teaching, and engagement to promote social justice and equality for all women and girls domestically and internationally.
The Institute supports and champions all women and girls, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression; this includes those who are transgender, non-binary, or gender non-conforming. The Kaschak Institute stands firmly for human rights for all and rejects efforts to curtail the human rights of any.
In its activities, the Institute encourages and is enriched by a wide variety of disciplinary approaches and theoretical perspectives about the most pressing issues facing women and girls. The Institute encourages proposals and participation from all persons who are interested in advancing human rights.
The Ellyn Uram Kaschak Institute for Social Justice for Women and Girls was established
in 2018 through the generosity of Ellyn Uram Kaschak, a 1965 alumna of Binghamton University and a pioneer and developer of feminist theory,
to continue her fight for equality for women and girls.
