Programs and Study Groups

IRWG supports original, faculty-led programs that reach across the university, each one linking several U-M departments, interdisciplinary programs, or professional schools in a focused examination of a particular area or topic related to women and gender. IRWG Faculty Programs are usually funded for a two-year period, but some are long-standing.

IRWG welcomes program proposals that explore differences and commonalities among and between women and men in the multicultural United States and internationally. Typical programs involve a series of public events, workshops, and other creative activities that might inform a future research project or result in a publication or performance. Funding for as much as $10,000 is available for approved programs.

If you have questions about IRWG’s Faculty Programs, please contact Professor Deborah Keller-Cohen, senior associate director, IRWG, at dkc@umich.edu.

Please submit proposals with a narrative of no more than two pages, single-spaced, and a budget with rationale to tcrimes@umich.edu.

IRWG’s programming reveals how central the intersectional analysis of gender and race is to feminist endeavors on campus. Lane Hall and the institute are evidence of how strongly--and successfully-- the University of Michigan embraces this mission.
