Program Spotlights
In the Gender and Sexuality Studies Program, students have the freedom to design their own pathway through the concentration. GNSS students receive individual guidance and advising from a core group of faculty who work closely with them through every stage of the concentration.
The Center supports research by Brown faculty and students in multiple ways, including fellowships for faculty, undergraduates, and graduate students; seed grants for interdisciplinary faculty research; and grants and prizes for undergraduate and graduate students. Our postdoctoral fellowship program is open to external PhDs.
The Pembroke Seminar is a singular institution at Brown and beyond.
The Pembroke Center’s Postdoctoral Fellowship program is vital to the Pembroke Center’s teaching and research mission as well as its community.
