Description
The Interdisciplinary Faculty Seed Grants program, administered by Brown University’s Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women, is designed to catalyze innovative, transnational research initiatives among Brown faculty. The program encourages collaborative projects that cross disciplinary boundaries—including the humanities, social sciences, creative arts, health sciences, and science and technology studies—and that engage deeply with intersecting dimensions of difference such as gender, sexuality, generation, work, class, race, ethnicity, language, citizenship, and religion. These seed grants reflect the Pembroke Center’s mission to advance research that explores how these aspects shape societies and lived experiences.
