About Us

The mission of the Gender+ Justice Initiative (G+JI) is to build on the long-standing and path-breaking research already being done at Georgetown, catalyze dialogues on the impact of sex and gender across departments and campuses, and make Georgetown a dynamic hub of knowledge production, community engagement, and policy development on intersectional issues of gender, racial, and economic justice. The G+JI invites faculty and students from across the University to engage in interdisciplinary conversations and collaborations.

  • What is the typical time commitment? 

There will be 4-5 one-hour mandatory events throughout the year (introductory gathering, end of the year gathering and workshops on publication). We may plan additional informal meetings/check-ins for those interested and encourage fellows to connect/meet with folks from their cohort throughout the year.

  • Is the research self-managed or supervised?

The research project is not supervised. Fellows conduct their research independently over the course of one academic year. A short report is expected at the end of the fellowship. 

  • Are fellows assigned advisors?

We do not automatically assign advisors to fellows, but we are able identify advisors upon request.

  • What is the minimum/maximum word count for the final report?

The final report should be between 500-800 words (12 font, double spaced). 

  • Can the work be produced in conjunction with or as part or an extension of other academic projects? 

Yes, your research project can be part of a larger project (thesis, dissertation, book) and can also be an extension of past projects such as final papers, thesis etc.
