Women's Studies Association (NZ)/Pae Akoranga Wāhine

Kia ora. The WSA/PAW was wound up in August 2025.

This website remains active to give access to the Women's Studies Journal and to the Oral History Legacy project.

Our aim was to promote women's studies by encouraging feminist research and scholarship, promoting women's studies courses and events, preserving feminist heritage and sharing the work of our members through publications, events and conferences.

As a feminist organisation, our commitment was to women's studies making an impact by reducing gender-based inequalities and leading to positive changes for women.

We acknowledged Te Tiriti o Waitangi as foundational to our work and we encouraged diversity in our organisation and in women's studies.
