The Lounge at the CWE

The Lounge at the CWE

By The Center for Women at Emory

Living rooms have always been transformative spaces for feminist consciousness-raising, organizing, and community building. Our lounge at the Center for Women at Emory (CWE) is no different. In fact, this where the true magic of the CWE happens. It’s a judgment-free zone where women come to make new friends, have intergenerational conversations, and expand their views. We’re excited to bring you this experience virtually on our new weekly podcast featuring the professional and student staff of the CWE.

These are the views of the individuals that work at the CWE, not Emory University.
