Mission
The Flora Stone Mather Center is dedicated to research on women and gender. We strive to be a national leader as a catalyst for creative, interdisciplinary scholarship through a feminist lens. We put this research into action as a community space and social innovator that advocates for justice. We support survivors of gender-based violence and partner with stakeholders to build a healthy and empowered campus community.
Values
A catalyst for creative, interdisciplinary scholarship...
The Mather Center empowers the entire community to contribute to CWRU’s mission of fostering scholarship and creative endeavors. We value lived experience as a form of knowledge and seek to amplify the many voices and perspectives on campus and in the Northeast Ohio community.
A community space...
The Mather Center is a space to gather, build community, and raise consciousness. Our initiatives cultivate critical reflection, a deeper understanding of self, a broader perspective of others, and a desire to advocate for change. We provide a safe environment for exploration, where all voices are honored and heard.
A social innovator...
The Mather Center supports the development of programs and initiatives in and outside the Center that are guided by the principle that higher education should ultimately serve the public good.
