UCLA Center for the Study of Women

The UCLA Center for the Study of Women (CSW) is a nationally recognized center for research on women and gender and the only organized research unit of its kind in the University of California system. Established in 1984, it draws on the energies of approximately 150 faculty members from seven UCLA professional schools, thirty-four departments and ten research centers. Organized to develop, promote and disseminate faculty and graduate student research, the Center administers grants, conferences, seminars, and a quarterly speakers series that brings together UCLA, UC, national and international scholars with the intellectual community of Los Angeles.
