Beatrice M. Bain Research Group
(BBRG)
The Beatrice M. Bain Research Group on Gender was established at U.C. Berkeley to foster and coordinate scholarship on women and gender across the disciplines. On March 15, 1985, the Chancellor's Joint Committee on the Status of Women's Programs submitted a report stating the desirability of three separate programs or branches designed to meet the needs of three largely distinct constituencies of women on this campus: an academic unit concerned chiefly with undergraduate teaching (the Women's Studies Department), a service unit concerned with the academic and personal challenges faced by undergraduate women (previously the Women's Resource Center, now the Gender Equity Resource Center), and a research unit, described in the report as an Institute for Research on Women, aimed first and foremost at serving the research interests and activities of faculty and graduate students.

The Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in Religion and Ministry
(CLGS)
The Pacific School of Religion's Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in Religion and Ministry (CLGS) bears witness to the Christian belief in justice for all people by offering an important new voice in the debate on sexuality, sexual orientation, and religion. It was created to advance the well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered people (LGBT) and to transform faith communities and wider society by taking a leading role in shaping a new public discourse on religion and sexuality through research, education for leadership, resourcing, and community building and advocacy.

Center for Race and Gender
(CRG)
The Center for Race and Gender is an interdisciplinary research and community outreach center at the University of California Berkeley dedicated to fostering explorations of race and gender and their intersections. It is virtually unique within the academic community in its focus on both race and gender. Its aim is to foster collegial support and exchange among faculty and students throughout the university and between the university and nearby communities of color. Among other activities, the Center will develop research projects and organize working groups, conferences, colloquia, and workshops on topics relevant to issues of race and gender. It will seek to form links with community groups and research centers at other universities. It will support development of outside funding for research projects and FOR publication and dissemination of research findings. The Center aspires to making a meaningful contribution to discussions of issues and policies affecting women and men of color at the national and international levels.

Center for the Study of Sexual Culture
(CSSC)
Founded in Spring 2001, the Center for the Study of Sexual Culture at the University of California, Berkeley brings together researchers with a common interest in the ways sexuality takes on different meanings in different cultural contexts. The Center fosters scholarly work approaching the study of sexual culture along two separate but interrelated avenues: research that investigates the centrality of sexuality to large cultural formations of various kinds, and also research that examines the workings of specific sexual cultures.

The Designated Emphasis Program on Women, Gender, and Sexuality
(DEWGS)
Designed to enhance interdisciplinary graduate studies at UC Berkeley, the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality (DEWGS) provides curricular, research resources and opportunities to students who are already admitted to graduate degree programs on campus. The DEWGS was developed to accommodate some of the many students who conduct graduate level research in related topics across numerous fields, and admitted its first students in the fall of 1996. Administered by the Graduate Group in Women, Gender, and Sexuality, and the Department of Women's Studies, the DEWGS provides its students with certification as well as with a unique context for the interdisciplinary exchange of ideas and development research.

The Emma Goldman Papers
(EMMA)
The Emma Goldman Papers is part of a national initiative to retrieve the papers of individuals whose life work has had a lasting impact on the course of American history. Since 1980, the Emma Goldman Papers Project at UCB has collected, organized, and edited tens of thousands of documents from around the world by and about Emma Goldman (1869-1940), a leading figure in American anarchism, feminism, and radicalism. In the spirit of Emma Goldman, the EGPP has extended its scholarly research to serve the community-to educate the public about the complexity of engagement in social and political transformation. It has published a microfilm edition of the papers (1991-1993) and<i> A Guide to Her Life and Documentary Sources</i> (1995). The papers provide a window not only into Goldman but also into social and cultural movements in late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century America, Europe, Asia and Latin America. Other publications include <a href=

(GENEQ)
GenEq is the Gender Equity Resource Center. It is staffed by three experienced professionals. The staff along with student interns work in close partnership to serve the UC Berkeley community and to address the complexities of sexual orientation, sex identity and gender discrimination. The Gender Equity Resource Center (GenEq) is a departmental unit of the Office of Student Life. The Office of Student Life/Dean of Students is a department of the division of Student Affairs, University of California, Berkeley.

GTU Women and Religion *Coming Soon*
(GTUWR)
A new certificate Program in Women and Religion will allow those in the Ph.D., M.Div., MA, and MTS degree programs to do a concentration of work in women's studies in religion. This has just been approved by the GTU Board of Trustees and plans are being formulated to get started in the coming 2006-2007 academic year with an opening conference. In addition there will be an introductory class for those registering in the certificate program. Details will be forthcoming as this develops. UCB students already may cross register for GTU courses.

Gender and Women's Studies
(GWS)
The Department of Gender & Women’s Studies offers interdisciplinary perspectives on the formation of gender and its intersections with other relations of power, such as sexuality, race, class, nationality, religion, and age. Questions are addressed within the context of a transnational world and from perspectives as diverse as history, sociology, literary and cultural studies, postcolonial theory, science, new technology, and art.

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Studies Undergraduate Minor
(LGBTM)
LGBT Studies works to establish sexuality as a crucial category of analysis in the humanities and social sciences. It draws on disciplines such as anthropology, sociology, psychology, history, literature, and cultural studies, in order to document the extent to which sexuality itself is a complex cultural and historical phenomenon that bears careful examination. Just as Women's Studies, for instance, is not only by, about, and for women, LGBT Studies is not only by, about, or for lesbian, gay, bisexual, or trangendered people, but includes all humanity in its purview
