May 15 is the University of Oregon's 10th annual Ducks Give, and CSWS is participating for the first time.
On Thursday, we ask for your help in funding interdisciplinary undergraduate projects focused on gender across the disciplines of Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and the Arts (STEAM) that will solve the problems of tomorrow with innovative thinking and cutting-edge research.
Your contribution to the CSWS Undergraduate STEAM Summer Fellowship will fund the next generation of gender-informed research by students and faculty mentors and allow Ducks to share findings and make an impact in the real world. Our goal this year is $5,000 – can you help us reach it?
Thanks to a generous pledge by long-time CSWS supporter Thomas Beaumont ('68), twenty gifts to CSWS will unlock an additional $2,500 to support our undergraduate research fellowships.
For our inaugural 2025 undergraduate STEAM fellowship, we were able to support the projects below (more details coming soon):
- Sophia Foerster, Multidisciplinary Science, "Estrogen Signaling in Cartilage Extracellular Matrix Integrity and Composition in Inflammatory Systems" (faculty mentor Nick Willett).
- Anisha Srinivasan, Psychology, "A Feminist Framework for Studying Deficits in Recognition of Outgroup Gaces" (faculty mentor Chanel Meyers).
- Alex Underwood, Sociology, "The Portrait Project: Preserving Queer History Through Intergenerational Storytelling" (faculty mentor Judith Raiskin).
Help us grow this cross-disciplinary undergraduate research initiative by donating to CSWS on Thursday.
