Women and Marginalized Communities in STEM at the University of Michigan Focus Group Report by Varna Kodoth, B.S., Research Assistant, CEW+.

Helping Students with Children Graduate: Taking Your College Services to the Next Level was created by Beth Sullivan, Ebony Reddock, Jenny Nulty, and Melissa Stek who served as staff and student policy interns at CEW. This resource for college administrators was produced through the Michigan Partners Project (MPP), which was a three-year initiative (2013-2016) sponsored by the Ford Foundation and facilitated by the Center for the Education of Women at the University of Michigan. This guide was created to help Michigan colleges build and improve their support programs for student parents. The report outlines unique challenges faced by these students and links readers to model programs in the areas of academic & social support, child care, financial support, housing, and health care. It also identifies and links to sources of state, federal, and non-profit assistance.
2018
Just Love: Feminism, Faith and Intimate Violence by Debotri Dhar, University of Michigan and CEW Visiting Scholar 2015-16 and 2016-17. Based on her research on rape and suicide in India, Dhar explores the troubled shades of love, when it is played out as seduction, deception, and violence. She examines how religion has been used to control women’s bodies and frame the raped female body as unchaste and shamed. Given that the global ubiquity of patriarchy and violence transcends the left-right and religious-secular theoretical divides, she suggests alternative theoretical and cultural, literary and lived conceptions of justice: just faith, just law, just love.
