Women's, Gender & Feminist Studies

In 1970, the field of women’s, gender and feminist studies was launched and was able to thrive in the ensuing years. NCRW was established in 1982 to create a supportive network for the burgeoning women’s research movement. Today, there are more than 900 women’s studies programs in the US with more than 10,000 courses offered on college campuses. Much of the curriculum is interdisciplinary and, in many instances, mainstreamed across subject areas. From the social sciences to liberal arts, fine arts and the sciences, feminist theory and framing (especially the intersection of race, gender and class) is having an important impact across disciplines in academia and beyond.

The Center for Research on Gender and Sexuality (CRGS) is an interdisciplinary community of San Francisco State University faculty, students, and staff dedicated to studying innovative social science research questions, methods, and theories, and training new investigators. Frequently working in collaboration with community organizations, the CRGS is committed to producing new and useful knowledge about sexuality and gender. Our goal is to promote social justice and well-being by empirically challenging how inequalities undermine healthy sexuality.

CRGS is proud to be a part of the National Centers on Sexuality (NCS) at San Francisco State University. At the NCS, interdisciplinary sexuality science, advocacy, capacity building and training come together through the collaboration of three organizations:

Research

CRGS at work
 
With the Gay Couples Study group joining CRGS in 2008, the research teams in CRGS became even stronger! The Gay Couples Study is now in the final stages of longitudinal data collection for both its qualitative and quantitative arms. Data collection for the qualitative interviews should finish by July, 2009 and the quantitative surveys should finish by February, 2010. Currently, the Gay Couples Study Team is working on several manuscripts for publication in profession journals, and will be presenting findings at the upcoming National HIV Prevention Conference in August.

The Girls' Risk Project, with PI Dr. Lynn Sorsoli at the helm, was recently completed. This study examined girls' decisions to engage in noncoital sexual behaviors, and the ways girls' narratives of those experiences differ by racial/ethnic group. It also explored the roles played by girls' health beliefs, gender beliefs, and behavioral contexts. Dr. Sorsoli and Project Coordinator Allegra Hirschman are now hard at work on an innovative new project that will examine the risks IRB members perceive regarding adolescent participation in sexuality studies, how adolescents perceive risk and experience study participation in sexuality studies and how the perceived risk and actual experiences of adolescents compare to the risks perceived by IRB members.

While wrapping up on his Trayectos Study, Dr. Héctor Carrillo began work on a new project focused on adult male circumcision. In the Circumcision Study, Dr. Carrillo will study the cultural factors of adult circumcision as an HIV prevention strategy for Mexican immigrants. After facing some initial recruitment challenges, the study is now just 5 participants away from reaching the desired sample size.

Dr. Jessica Fields and her research team recently capped off their Jailed Women and HIV Education project, a feminist analysis of incarcerated women's experiences of HIV education and risk, with culminating experience events at both the CRGS and the San Francisco County Jail. The Jailed Women and HIV Education study brings new attention, funding, and employment opportunities to the concerns of women of color locked up in San Francisco and other county jails. In addition, Dr. Fields continues to work alongside Drs. Rita Melendez and Amy Sueyoshi on H.O.L.D. (Honoring Leadership and Diversity) which involves interviews with administrators, faculty, and graduate students to investigate the barriers for women of color’s involvement at sexuality centers such as CRGS and within academia more broadly.

Dr. Rita Melendez is examining the relations between gender roles, religion, and HIV prevention among Latina and African-American women, and has recently begun work on the interview portion of her study.

WOMEN’S EQUALITY FORUM: Daddy, can a man be Prime Minister?

Submitted by ncrw on Wed, 08/26/2009 - 1:54pm

By Gwendolyn Beetham*

When I was in graduate school in London, one of my professors told a cute story about his daughter, born during the Thatcher era, who as a small child had asked him whether a man could be Prime Minister. The point that my professor was trying to make was that having more women in positions of power does make a difference in how women’s roles are perceived by society at large.

WOMEN’S EQUALITY FORUM: Achieving Political Equality by Living It

Submitted by ncrw on Wed, 08/26/2009 - 12:59pm

By Tonni Brodber*

Linda Basch: From your perspective, what is the unfinished work of women’s political equality?

Tonni Brodber: In the English-speaking Caribbean women’s participation in political leadership ranges from a high of 13% in Jamaica to a low of 0% in Belize, with many countries like St. Kitts and Nevis and St Lucia hovering at 6.7% and at 5.6% respectively. In the face of such paltry numbers, it almost pains me to say that it is my belief that the unfuinished work of women’s political equality is the lack of quality and diversity.

    The Consortium on Race, Gender and Ethnicity (CRGE) is a university-wide initiative promoting research, scholarship and faculty and graduate student development. CRGE's work explores the intersections of race, gender, ethnicity and other dimensions of inequality as they shape the construction and representation of identities, behavior and complex social relations.

    CRGE has three major areas of work:

    • research at the intersections of race, gender and ethnicity;
    • rigorous mentorship and training programs and activities for developing scholars; and
    • collaboration aimed at creating a campus climate conducive to excellent intersectional scholarship.

    Over the past ten years, we have created a dynamic center that has achieved significant milestones in each of these areas.

    Current Research

     

    Developing Research Studies include:
     

     

    Past Research Program Areas:

     

    Intersections, Identities, and Inequalities (Dr. Bonnie Thornton Dill, director)

    This program area focuses on the development of theoretical, methodological and pedagogical approaches to the study of intersections of race, gender, class, ethnicity and other dimensions of inequality. It is an interdisciplinary research program area that seeks to elaborate how dimensions of inequality intersect, creating new and distinct social formations. This includes promoting research that contextualizes the lives and experiences of individuals and groups, as well as develops applications of knowledge to human problems. This scholarship embraces a wide range of approaches that permit complex and nuanced explorations. Intersectional analysis is also an effort to move beyond binary or oppositional analyses and toward an understanding of the ways the ideological, political, and economic systems of power construct and reconstruct one another. An intersectional approach, grounded in lived experience, provides the intellectual foundation for the pursuit of social justice.

     

    Health and Social Well Being of Low Income Women, Children, and Families (Dr. Ruth E. Zambrana, director)

    This program area seeks to build a more comprehensive and ethnic-specific scientific knowledge base on the effects of the intersection of poverty, institutional barriers, and other non-medical factors that contribute to adverse health status. This approach takes into account the influence of race, gender, and ethnicity to promote responsiveness in the development of future health interventions.

     

    Material Culture/Visual Culture (Drs. Mary Corbin Sies and Angel David Nieves, co-directors)

    The Material Culture/Visual Culture (MC/VC) program area is engaged in research on African American material and visual culture, and more generally on the material and visual culture of marginalized subgroups of North America. The group seeks to publicize the value of material and visual evidence for understanding the cultures of everyday life of American subcultures and to foster an environment in which scholars from different backgrounds can explore and refine research and theories for working with material and visual culture.

     

    Schooling, Ethnic Communities and International Perspectives. (Dr. Lory J. Dance, director).

    This Research Program Area is in the early stages of development. Led by sociologist Dr. Lory J. Dance, this area focuses on the uses of qualitative methodologies in the study of education in ethnic communities in the United States and internationally. The group also houses the Qualitative Research Interest Group (QRIG; co-directed by Drs. Lory J. Dance and Annette Lareau), which sponsored a colloquium series in fall 2005 on funding qualitative research projects.

     

    Other Activities:

    Intersectional Research Database. CRGE is home to the world's first online database devoted exclusively to intersectional research. The Intersectional Research Database (IRD), which was launched in summer 2005, currently features over 100 annotations of articles and books on intersectional issues. The IRD is updated weekly and will soon include audio, visual images, video and sound.

    CRGE Graduate Colloquium. CRGE holds a monthly colloquium for graduate students that focuses on various topics related to intersectionality and social justice. Graduate students from across the disciplines participate through attendance and by sharing their own work at the end of each semester. Recent colloquium topics have dealt with the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina; interdisciplinary job talks; intersections and sexualities; and the commodification of Black youth, which was led by Dr. Patricia Hill Collins.

    Research Interest Groups (RIGS). RIGS are smaller research groups, each sponsored by a Research Program Area. RIGS are collaborative, interdisciplinary groups that conduct intersectional research. The RIGS aim to create groups that can assist their members in preparing and submitting proposals for federal, state, and private sector research grants in CRGE Research Program Areas.
