All organizations are located on the Minneapolis campus of the
University of Minnesota. We have collaborated to produce this information
with the financial support of our centers, the Kellogg Foundation,
the Leadership for Black Women Program, and the Vice President for
Multicultural Affairs.
Center
on Women and Public Policy (CWPP) at the Humphrey School
of Public Affairs supports masters students in public policy who
want to concentrate their studies on women, gender and feminism.
Since its founding in 1985 by Ambassador Arvonne Fraser, former
U.S. Representative to the United Nations Commission on the Status
of Women, and Professor Barbara Nelson, the center has conducted
applied research on women's international human rights, comparable
worth, women's political participation, reproductive rights, and
feminist economics. The center's current focus is women, law, and
public policy and comparative feminist social movements. Its innovative
case study program on feminist organizations produces cases for
use by teachers, activists and researchers. It also sponsors numerous
public programs on women's issues.

Center
for Advanced Feminist Studies (CAFS) strives to foster intellectual
community and collaborative research among feminist scholars within
and outside the University of Minnesota. The intellectual goals
of feminist studies are dual:
- To develop, through the evaluative lens of feminist criticism
and theory, systematic, comprehensive and accurate information
about women and gender in past and present cultures throughout
the world.
- To transform traditional disciplines and fields of study through
the incorporation of new data, methods, theories and frameworks
generated by feminist scholarship.
