Research Scholars 2011-2013
Research Scholars
The Research Scholar program is designed to support local independent scholars conducting research on women, sexuality, or gender who have limited institutional access to research support. Research Scholars must have an active research project in progress and neither a tenure-track position nor a permanent, full-time academic affiliation with a college or university.
