Research sheds light on women’s voices from the past

Tue. Mar. 10, 2026

In honour of International Women’s Day (IWD), The University of Winnipeg is proud to honour women in our University community who all make important contributions to our institution, within their fields of study and to the greater community.

UWinnipeg is committed to holding space for diversity, equity and inclusion for women. This year’s theme, Give to Gain, encourages a mindset of generosity and collaboration, emphasizing the power of reciprocity and support.

We take this opportunity to recognize the valuable insights and contributions women from all backgrounds bring to UWinnipeg.

This year UWinnipeg is featuring Dr. Darlene Abreu-Ferreira, Department of History and  Dr. Melanie Racette-Campbell, Department of Classics who recently received Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) grants. Their research looks at the inequities of gender and race within two different times in history, with themes and patterns that are relevant to the present day.
