Research Interest Groups

Graduate students and faculty are invited to apply for up to $1,000 in funding to organize CSWS Research Interest Groups (RIGs) for the 2026-27 academic year. 

RIGs provide participants the opportunity to discuss readings of emerging and established feminist scholars and share their research. Funding may be used to pay for reading materials, catering, visits by scholars, on-campus symposia and conferences, and similar campus events. Groups are encouraged to use RIGs as the foundation for future conferences and symposia, course development, and publications. 

Graduate students and faculty are invited to apply for up to $1,000 in funding to organize CSWS Research Interest Groups (RIGs) for the 2025-26 academic year. An info session for prospective and returning RIG applicants will be held 3–4 p.m. Wednesday, April 9 in the CSWS Jane Grant Room (330 Hendricks Hall).

The Center for the Study of Women in Society has funded three Research Interest Groups (RIGs) for AY 2024-25 in fields ranging from intersectional psychology to decolonial comics studies and feminist philosophy.
