Research
Research in the Consortium focuses on the intersections of race, gender, ethnicity and other dimensions of difference through four Research Program Areas, each directed by senior faculty of the Consortium staff. Additionally, the Consortium maintains several Research Interest Groups (RIGs), each of which is associated with a program area. Below, you'll find more information about CRGE's Research Program Areas and Research Interest Groups (RIGs).
- Health and Social Well-Being of Low-Income Women, Children, and Families
Director: Dr. Ruth E. Zambrana - Intersections, Identities and Inequalities
Director: Dr. Bonnie Thornton Dill - Schooling, Ethnic Communities and International Perspectives
Director: Dr. Lory J. Dance - Material Culture/Visual Culture
Directors: Drs. Mary Corbin Sies and Angel David Nieves
Currently, RIGs are working groups composed of faculty and graduate students whose interests are linked to a CRGE Research Program Area.The RIGs aim to:
- Facilitate collaborative research and inquiry
- Create groups that can assist their members in preparing and submitting proposals for federal, state, and private sector research grants in CRGE program areas.
- Create opportunities for cross-disciplinary discussion and exchange on issues in the study of the intersection of race, gender, ethnicity, and class with other dimensions of difference.
