Abstract

This essay examines how the EEOC Compliance Chart obscures and so perpetuates gender inequalities for today’s institutions. The paper explores second and third wave feminist national and global organizing strategies to contemplate best practices for change. Using two models of women's activism the essay puts forward best practices for creating in universities the kind of transnational nonstate activism and advocacy that has created gender mainstreaming success around the world.
