The Feminist Research Institute (FRI) catalyzes the potential of feminism to transform academic research to meet today’s pressing social and scientific challenges. Feminist research combines a commitment to social justice and gender equity with rigorous methodologies that produce more impactful and accurate knowledge. The results is collaborative, transdisciplinary projects that ask new questions, use new methodologies, and engage new audiences. Our current projects include the "Asking Different Questions: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Science" program, Health Justice research, the Environemtnal Justice Leaders program, Mobility Justice research, as well as supporting independent undergraduate research.

Words of reflection by Associate Director Sarah McCullough
We hosted the UC Davis Feminist Research Institute Open House the day after the election, and I found myself speaking about our plans for 2025 in an unanticipated context. Fortunately, I heard the wisdom of Alexis Pauline Gumbs and engage in her excellent reflection prompt. Here's a write-up of what I shared. https://lnkd.in/d_d2RZDA

?? We are excited to announce the 2025 SEEKCommons Fellowship! The SEEKCommons Fellowship is funded by NSF and run by partners at University of Notre Dame, University of California Davis, University of Michigan, University of Virginia, and The HDF Group. The goal of the fellowship is to bring graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and professionals from community-based organizations with new perspectives to socio-environmental research with open technologies. The SEEKCommons Fellowship is funded by NSF and run by partners at University of Notre Dame, University of California Davis, University of Michigan, University of Virginia, and The HDF Group. The goal of the fellowship is to bring graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and professionals from community-based organizations with new perspectives to socio-environmental research with open technologies. Application deadline is Dec. 15, 2024. The fellowship is designed to: - Encourage new translational and integrative work involving socio-environmental action research with Open Science practices; - Provide a space for Fellows and network members to collaborate on common research issues, challenges, and solutions. Because questions of technological sovereignty and community stewardship are prominent in the environmental action research debates, criteria for joining the Fellowship cohort will include a record of engagement with these questions in their own communities (e.g., students from indigenous groups with an interest in data sovereignty, or from frontline communities interested in actionable research findings, researchers in STS working on open research infrastructures, technologists developing software, hardware, or data resources for socio-environmental research). Fellows will be selected based on the relevance of their proposal for the SEEKCommons project and the availability of Network mentors. Fellows may be: - Graduate students working with open technologies on sustainability/climate issues; conducting research with open technology on socio-environmental issues; - Post-docs with existing community projects in Science and Technology Studies, Open Science, and/or Socio-environmental research; or - Community practitioners who are interested in integrating open practices or technologies into their environmental justice work. Applications are due by December 15 and more information can be found at: https://lnkd.in/g8YEK--T #STS #OpenScience #OS #Socio-Environmental-Research #AvailableOpportunity #Fellowship #FellowshipOpportunity
