About FRI

The Feminist Research Institute is dedicated to the production of scholarship on women, gender, and sexuality, and to the creation of intellectual community among feminist scholars at UNM. UNM has a large number of feminist faculty and graduate students, and the Institute offers an opportunity to meet and work with others both within and across disciplines.

The Women Studies Program is an academic program with an undergraduate major, and the Women's Resource Center provides community outreach and support services for women on campus. The Institute is building on this history to expand opportunities for feminist study and research among faculty and graduate students, with a priority on interdisciplinary research. Collaborative research among UNM faculty is especially encouraged.

The Institute has organized several major events including:
Fall 2004 "Challenges for Women in Politics"
Spring 2005 "Challenges for Women in Academia"
Spring 2006 "Challenges for Women in Science and Engineering"
Spring 2007 "A Forum on Women and Spirituality: Contemporary Lives and Challenges"
Ongoing lectures featuring faculty research.

The Feminist Research Institute also organizes interdisciplinary support groups and workshops for UNM graduate students:

Informal graduate student Works-in-Progress colloquium Series
"How to Be a Woman in Academia" Workshop Series
Annual award for the best graduate student paper in feminist scholarship
