Ford Foundation Grant Approval: Mainstream New Research on Women and Minorities into the Liberal Arts Curriculum of NYC's Community Colleges

Description

This June 19, 1984, letter from the assistant secretary of the Ford Foundation, Diane L. Galloway, to the executive director of the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (CUNY) served to inform CUNY of the approval of a $49,850 grant to the Center for the Study of Women and Society (CSWS). The grant , which would be available to CUNY over eighteen months beginning on March 1, 1984, was intended for use by CSWS to support an effort to mainstream new research on women and minorities into the liberal arts curriculum of New York City's community colleges.
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.
