About this role

Writers in FEM are essential — our magazine and website wouldn’t exist without articles! Each writer applies to their primary section: Arts and Creative, Dialogue and Opinion, Politics, Entertainment, and Campus Life. Once you are in FEM, you are able to crosswrite for multiple sections. Writers are responsible for writing 2 articles during their intern quarter, and a minimum of 3 articles once they are full staff members. Writers can discuss a broad range of topics, while focusing on an intersectional lens and incorporating feminist theory and practice into their analysis.
