The Center for the Study of Women in Society (CSWS) is pleased to announce awards of more than $86,000 for scholarship, research, and creative work on women and gender for AY 2020-21.

How do you get information about CSWS news and events? What changes would make the website more useful to you?

After a three-year hiatus, Research Matters is back in print with a fresh approach to the Center for the Study of Women in Society’s mission to create, fund, share, and support research on gender.

Rather than sharing the end results CSWS faculty affiliate research, the new issue aims to support faculty and graduate students at the beginning of their projects by looking into the challenges and opportunities of “Diving into Big Data.”

CSWS offers small grants to faculty and graduate students to organize interdisciplinary Research Interest Groups (RIGs) and working groups that explore and examine the complex nature of gender identities and inequalities for the academic year.
