The research, scholarship, and creative activity of the members of the Sex, Gender, and Justice Division of the Center focus on questions relating to power, fairness, and equity based on or related to sex and gender difference. Issues of interest to the Division Fellows include: gender in a social and cultural context; masculinity and violence; gender and the research encounter; gender and division of household labor; sex, gender, and corporate governance; selective enforcement of laws based on sex and gender; the social construction of gender and how it affects domestic violence interventions; and the influence of interactions among gender, race/ethnicity, and class on women’s social networks and resources and their experiences with post-incarceration adaptation. Fellows in the Division include faculty members teaching in the College of Law and the Modern Foreign Languages and Literature, Psychology, Sociology, and Women’s Studies departments.
