Thrivance and Strivance
Each president appoints task forces to work on specific, compelling issues in the psychology of women and gender or issues that face feminist psychologists in the U.S. and beyond. Task forces are appointed for two years. Currently active task forces are listed here. Most task forces produce a book, conference, data that are useful for Division 35 planning or some other tangible product or initiative for the division.
To become involved in the activities of our task forces, if you are not currently a member, we invite you to join Division 35. If you are currently a member, please contact the chair of the particular task force that sparks your interest. We look forward to engaging you in our division’s work.
