This report emerges from a two year-long collaborative process engaging campus stakeholders, especially those most vulnerable to gender-based violence and hate, to understand the impacts of gendered harm at the University of Waterloo. Through community forums, a campus-wide survey, we gathered experiences and perceptions related to misogyny, queerphobia, and transphobia. The report provides evidence-based recommendations for creating a more inclusive and accountable campus environment and informed the development of customizable toolkits designed to address and shift cultures of gender-based harm in learning spaces.

A digital archive of activist memes spanning feminist and queer activism between 2016 and 2026. The collection is a resource documenting and preserving queer and feminist activist content online that has not yet been adequately archived, especially within social media.

The collection offers a valuable snapshot of a key historical moment that tracks the rise of both fourth wave feminism and the broad adoption of social media practices, including meme making, remixing, and sharing. The decade this archive documents spans significant events surrounding twenty-first century social movements including the #MeToo movement, #BLM, #IdleNoMore, the Covid-19 pandemic and its aftermath, as well as regressive shifts within geopolitical discourse. The resource is open access and invites researchers and public users to explore the meme collection via tags, keywords, timelines, and formal properties. It is useful for scholars within meme studies as well as classroom exercises and general interest.
