The Newcomb Institute is an academic institute that conducts community-engaged research, training, and practice to empower individuals of all social characteristics to reach their full potential. Our feminist approach generates knowledge to address gender-based barriers and we collaborate with various stakeholders to influence policies promoting gender equity.
Our research priorities for 2023-2028 include:
- Protection of sexual and reproductive health and rights
- Prevention of gender-based and discriminatory violence, including intimate partner violence, sexual harassment and sexual assault, and homophobic and transphobic discrimination
- Strengthening feminist civic and community engagement through development of student leaders and community members as change agents
