Established by J. Lindsey Embrey, the Embrey Family Foundation began in 2004 and continues to “cultivate human rights awareness and advance initiatives that challenge and embolden people to walk better in the world.” The Center for Women’s and Gender Studies (CWGS) Embrey Critical Human Rights Initiative (ECHRI) generates and supports projects to create an educational culture for socialjustice. Through innovative learning spaces including vibrant collaborations with community organizers, the EWHRI sustains research, teaching, and activism as justice strategies in resistance to multiple oppressions.
