Description:
The Center for the Study of Social Difference at Columbia University is an interdisciplinary research center supporting collaborative projects that address gender, race, sexuality, and other forms of inequality to foster ethical and progressive social change. The Center’s working groups challenge the disciplinary divides among the humanities, the arts, and the social sciences by asking not only how historical categories of social difference intersect on the level of identity, but also how these categories shape institutions, modes of knowing, acts of representation, and processes of globalization. Projects should align with the mission of “Women Creating Change” or “Imagining Justice."
A new opportunity, funded by the Earth Institute, sponsors a working group that combines climate-related issues with “Women Creating Change” or “Imagining Justice."
