Faculty Research
CRG provides a home for interdisciplinary research projects on race and gender funded through an extramural source. Faculty are encouraged to consider pursuing private funding for projects that fall within the CRG mission and having CRG administer those grants.
During 2002, the Center supported a Ford Foundation-funded project entitled "Multicultural Education and Critical Pedagogy." UCB Professor Elaine Kim and four Comparative Ethnic Studies graduate students studied and compiled a report of recent research and writing on multicultural, immigrant, and language diversity education, as well as, race and education, gender and education, and critical pedagogy (April 2001-August 2002).
CRG Fellows
CRG provides a home for interdisciplinary research projects on race and gender funded through Fellowships. From the Fall 2005 to Spring 2006 the CRG hosted two Post-Doctoral Fellows.
Rebecca Hall was the CRG's Mellon Foundation Post-doctoral Fellow. Her research focuses on slavery, historical constructions of racialized gender and contemporary legacies of the same. She earned a J.D. from Boalt Hall and completed her PhD in Histor. Her dissertation Not Killing Me Softly: African American Women, Slave Revolts, and Historical Constructions of Racialized Gender develops “a trans-Atlantic social history of African American women in slave revolts and examines the discourse surrounding these women.”
