Tanja is an active member of the Feminist Research Network at the University of Wollongong, and was the founding convenor (2013 – 2014). The Feminist Research Network at UOW supports staff whose work is influenced or inspired by diverse feminisms. The network brings together researchers from a wide range of disciplines in the Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts, and at all stages of career development. Activities include research workshops and public lectures, a reading group and social events, women’s mentoring and community engagement. The network supports feminist practice and approaches the university itself as a site of intervention. FRN also maintains close relationships with the student-led UOW Feminist Society (FemSoc).
