The Centre for Feminist Research at York University has survived for over 30 years in a financially precarious way. The Centre generously receives space and funding from York University’s VPRI Office, but we still must raise 50% of our operating costs and 100% of our event costs each year.
What We Do
- Host 20+ events each year in collaboration with university and community partners
- Host Visiting Scholars, Visiting Graduate Students and Associates from around the world
- Share feminist opportunities, events and calls in our bi-weekly newsletter
- Disseminate research, insights and ideas through our Feminisms in Focus and Feminist Dispatch series
- Support the development of new research clusters to connect associates around topics of interest
- Support and guide the development of grants, with a focus on emerging, racialized, feminist, and precarious scholars
- Provide post-award support for researchers who house their grants at the Centre for Feminist Research
- Award excellence in feminist research through our annual Mary McEwan Dissertation Award, Kickstarter Grants, and the Medal for Excellence in Feminist Scholarship in Canada
