Mission Statement

At the forefront of interdisciplinary research since its founding in 1976, the Institute for Research on Women (IRW) has been a central force in establishing Rutgers University as one of the most distinguished research institutions in the world for the study of women and gender.

The mission of the IRW is to stimulate research on women and gender within and across the disciplines on all three of the university campuses. Affiliates include 900 faculty, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates drawn from a wide range of disciplines, departments, and programs.

The IRW promotes innovative scholarship on women and gender by hosting interdisciplinary seminars, lectures, symposia and conferences that bring together Rutgers University researchers with top visiting scholars from the U.S. and abroad. A one-page summary of 2004-2005 lectures, seminar fellows, and other programs is available online.
