STEMinist Network


The STEMinist Network is a drop-in program that creates opportunities for gender marginalized undergraduate students in STEM to connect and build community within the larger context of STEM as a male dominated field.


We focus on gender and science, community building, and professional development. We use the term “gender marginalized” to recognize the impact of sexism on many communities including, but not limited to, transgender women, cisgender women, transgender men, non-binary individuals, and gender non-conforming individuals.

Location: Zoom Meeting

Parenting is never easy, but this is unprecedented. You are not alone!

This support group is in collaboration with the Women’s Center and facilitated by Izabel Caetano Francy, LCSW, a Faculty and Staff Assistance Program (FSAP) licensed clinician, who is also a full-time remote working parent.

Open to all UC San Diego campus Faculty and Staff parents of any age, partnered or single.

Vinegar Tom



Vinegar Tom is famously described by Caryl Churchill as “a play about witches with no witches in it.” Instead of magic this play explores misogyny and how society punishes women who dare to resist social control. Peppered with modern punk songs, this story of 17th century women accused of witchcraft for rejecting social norms, hits remarkably close to home.


The show runs November 22-December 7; tickets and more information are available here.
