Welcome to the Gender Intelligence Lab

Advancing equity through research and social change

The Gender Intelligence Lab (GIL), led by Professor Diana C. Parry (University of Waterloo, Canada), conducts and translates academic expertise in gender studies, equity, technology, and transformative social change.  

Rooted in feminist scholarship and social justice principles, the lab serves as both an incubator and amplifier of research, advocacy, and applied knowledge that interrogates how gender shapes – and is shaped by – systems of power, representation, and resistance.

Gender matters—in policy, in media, in workplaces, in leisure, and in healing. Through a feminist, justice-oriented lens, the lab helps envision a future where gender intelligence is not an afterthought—but a foundation for equity, innovation, and collective well-being.
