Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women
Brown University
At the heart of the Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women’s research agenda is a questioning of what counts as foundational knowledge in a given discipline. This questioning of the production of knowledge is related, in turn, to the challenges that studies of « difference » present to the academy–gender studies; studies of race, ethnicity, multiculturalism; cross-cultural and postcolonial studies. Scholars affiliated with the Center look to the complex ways « differences » are produced culturally, socially, epistemologically: sexual and gender differences, the differences that are fundamental to the categories of « race » and ethnicity, nationality, religion, and so forth. It is there, at the intersection of the production of knowledge and articulations of « difference, » that the Pembroke Center locates its research and teaching.
