*The Pembroke Center’s 40th Anniversary*

The 2021–22 academic year marks the 40th anniversary of the Pembroke Center for Teaching and Research on Women. The center was founded in 1981, a decade after Pembroke College — the coordinate women’s college of Brown University — merged fully with the men’s college. As the greater community honors 130 years of women at Brown, the Pembroke Center is delighted to celebrate its history of cultivating interdisciplinary work on gender and sexuality through its research, teaching, archival and community-building programs.
