Minerva is the teaching and research space maintained in Second Life by the Department of Women's Studies at The Ohio State University. Minerva is open to the public when classes are not in session, and our resource area on the island is always available. Student work is often showcased there, and other exhibits on women's issues are open on a rotating basis.

Please feel free to visit at any time. You must have the Second Life client installed on your computer to access the island; open the SL client on your computer, then use this link to get to Minerva. If your entry to parts of the island is blocked, this means that classes are in session. We don't mean to be rude; we're just busy. Contact Ellie Brewster through this site or within Second Life if you have questions about OSU Women's Studies in Second Life.

Minerva Island was created through a grant from the Office of Continuing Education at The Ohio State University
