The Research Center team produces research publications and school curricula that affect women and girls in school, in the workplace, and in society at large. The Research Center intends that its research be used by educators, community organizations, businesses, and government officials to raise awareness, identify solutions, change attitudes and practices, and develop public policy, both locally and nationally. The Research Center is located at the north end of Clare Hall on the first floor.
