National Women's Studies Association

Women of Color Leadership Project. The WoCLP is designed to increase the number of women of color students and faculty within the field of women’s studies  and gender studies and, consequently, to have an impact on the levels of participation and power by women of color in the PA&D, NWSA, and in the field of women’s studies as a whole.

NWSA Data Collection Project. NWSA partnered with the National Organization for Research (NORC) at the University of Chicago to collect data on the field of women’s/ gender studies nationally; the project was made possible with generous support from The Ford Foundation.

Teagle Foundation Grant. The National Women's Studies Association is pleased to announce it has received a two-year grant from the Teagle Foundation to investigate relationships between theories and practices of civic engagement at the undergraduate course level, develop model pedagogies for teaching about civic engagement, and train faculty to implement and assess such pedagogies.
