Current Publications

Since 2005, the Center has supported the work of many UO faculty scholars through our publication of Research Matters, a newsletter that highlights projects supported by CSWS funding.

Our premier publication, the CSWS Annual Review, began in October 2009, revitalizing a previous annual publication called the CSWS Review.

The latest issues of the CSWS Annual Review as well as older issues of CSWS Review are available at the UO Knight Library.
