Pembroke Center faculty Helis Sikk and Sarah Gamble worked with four UTRA student researchers over the summer of 2024 to further community-engaged research and develop an academic course syllabus. The UTRAs, or Undergraduate Teaching and Research Awards, are granted to Brown students working with faculty on research and teaching projects during the academic year or the summer.

These are the winners of this year’s Pembroke Center student research grants.

The Reproductive Justice Collaborative summer UTRA/Laidlaw Scholars interviewed students and researchers at Brown engaged in reproductive justice advocacy and research, as well as community organizations, to learn more about gaps and overlaps in reproductive justice work, and how Brown can collaborate for greater impact.
