What is GRACe?

GRACe is an interdisciplinary faculty research group that brings together WSU faculty from all campuses and disciplines who conduct gender research, writing and teaching. The group provides a space for faculty to discuss scholarly work on gender, to plan collaborative research and teaching activities, and to promote exciting, path-breaking scholarship on gender in all of our disciplines.

GRACe supports regular luncheon colloquia, gender research symposia, a GRACe Graduate Scholar Award, research clusters (groups of GRACe members collaborating on common research themes), and a Speaker's Bureau. GRACe also publishes a directory listing our members, their contact information, recent publications, and their research and teaching specialties.

General GRACe activities are coordinated by Noël Sturgeon (Chair, Women's Studies, WSU Pullman). GRACe research activities are coordinated by Candice Goucher (Director of Undergraduate Studies and Professor of History, WSU Vancouver).

GRACe activities are made possible by generous support from the Office of Research, the Graduate School, the College of Liberal Arts, the Thomas S. Foley Institute for Public Policy and Public Service, and the Department of Women's Studies at WSU.

Interested in joining GRACe? If your research, teaching, or creative work centers on gender, as well as its intersections with other vectors of social inequality, contact Noël Sturgeon at sturgeon@wsu.edu or Candice Goucher at goucher@vancouver.wsu.edu.
