PEMBROKE CENTER FOR TEACHING AND RESEARCH ON WOMEN

Management and team. Structure

To be a feminist research center devoted to critical scholarship on the struggles faced by people across national and transnational contexts, especially those whose gender identity or sexual orientation make them targets of violence.
To harness a singular combination of programs to interrogate how categories used to differentiate people are produced and mobilized, and how the deployment of categories like gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, citizenship, nationality, political status, and religion, among others, impacts individuals and communities. Along with robust academic and research programs and scholarly initiatives, the Pembroke Center supports a renowned scholarly publication, houses a growing set of archives and an oral history project, trains emerging scholars, editors, and curators, hosts a wide range of public events, and is the hub of a dynamic and supportive community.
