Campus Life
OIST LGBTQ+ Allies group is an enduring, self-organized community that aims to provide support and safe space for queer individuals at OIST.
Intersectional Feminists of OIST (IF OIST) aims to create a safe space to talk about topics related to harassment, inequality and discrimination, especially around gender, in a vulnerable way and to accompany, lift each other up, and honor each other's experiences. Furthermore, the IF OIST club also aims to create initiatives to promote gender equality and to harness a richer and more respectful campus culture.
The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Team is queer-friendly and offers coaching, consulting, and support for individuals and groups at OIST. Please contact us at DEI@oist.jp.
