Join the Gender, Women’s & Sexuality Studies (GWSS) program for the 2026 Activist in Residence series.
This year’s Activist in Residence is Minerva Zayas, field manager for Planned Parenthood of Greater Washington and North Idaho. Zayas’ advocacy and activism focuses on underrepresented populations, particularly women, children, at-risk adolescents, and the LGBTQ+ population.
