CENTER DESCRIPTION

The Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women was founded at Brown University in 1981 as a center for interdisciplinary research on gender and society. It hosts postdoctoral fellows and faculty affiliates from across the country and around the world to its annual research seminary, which address gender issues from cross-cultural and theoretical perspectives. The Pembroke Center is also the home of Brown University's Gender Studies Program and is affiliated with The Sarah Doyle Women's Center.
