Annual Report of Research Centers and Institutes July 1, 1991 - June 30, 1992

Description

This annual report of the Center for the Study of Women and Society (CSWS) from July 1, 1991, to June 30, 1992, provided a summary of CSWS's mission, activities, scholarly papers in refereed journals, abstracts, and other publications, financial support, facilities, equipment, budget, and personnel. CSWS's mission was identified as the development, encouragement, and sponsoring of research in women's studies; provision of assistance to both graduate and undergraduate programs at the City University of New York (CUNY) for major and minor courses; development of programs in women's studies in community education; and the encouragement and coordination of doctoral courses related to women and society. However, due to the growth of different initiatives and accomplishments, CSWS no longer assumed responsibility for coordinating women's studies courses or functioning as a primary source for student advisement, as these were now the responsibility of the Women's Studies Certificate Program office that CSWS had helped to establish. In this report, CSWS cemented its commitment to focusing on gender, race, ethnicity, and class internationally, particularly in urban communities. It stated that several books, chapters, papers, articles, abstracts, and newsletters had been published under the auspices of CSWS and were available upon request.Additionally, many CSWS members had been involved in lectures, seminars, conferences, and symposiums. CSWS members also worked with grassroots organizations, such as the New York City Coalition for Women's Mental Health, publications such as "Sex Roles: A Journal of Research" and The Feminist Press, the Feminist Academy, and the Visiting Scholars program. CSWS received grants from the Japan Institute for Women and Minor's Problems, UNIFEM, the Ford Foundation, and the CUNY Graduate School and had proposed more grants to the same agencies and the National Institute of Drug Abuse. In the 1991 – 1992 fiscal year, the budget indicated that CSWS had spent $78,000 on an income of $101,000.
Since 1977, the Center for the Study of Women and Society (CSWS), Graduate Center, City University of New York (CUNY) has promoted interdisciplinary feminist scholarship. The Center’s research agenda focuses on the intersectional study of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, and nation in societies worldwide. The Center co-sponsors the Women’s Studies Certificate Program and, most notably, hosts the only stand-alone Women’s and Gender Studies MA Program in New York City.
