Research Interest Groups (RIGS) are groups of faculty, graduate students, and postdocs who are engaged in collaborative, interdisciplinary research projects by and about women and/or gender in its intersections with race, class, sexual and national identity, and the like. The purpose of the groups is to facilitate collaborative, cross-disciplinary research and inquiry, to create opportunities for cross-disiplinary discussion among scholars, to assist RIG members in preparing and submitting grant proposals, and to build better connections between scholars, policy makers, activists and/or local communities.
