on Anthropologically Connected
Interdisciplinary
Graduate Program The Program was launched in October 2001 with a commitment not only to train new scholars and pursue new knowledge, but also to contribute to solutions for local, regional, and global problems. In the environmental arena, exciting new methodologies and insights are now arising from non-traditional combinations of natural science with perspectives derived from law, medicine, economics, the social sciences, foreign policy, and business. IPER students will acquire training and strength in this new approach to the study of our environment and its many resources. Center for Latin American Studies Drawing on a distinguished faculty with multidisciplinary experience and a long history of research expertise in Latin America, the Center offers academic programs, coordinates a range of academic conferences and lectures that span diverse academic disciplines, and fosters interdisciplinary research. As part of its outreach program, it has historically sponsored fellowships for Bay Area elementary, secondary, and community college educators. These awards include a modest sum of money to be used for professional development activities including conferences, course materials, travel, and scholarship on topics related to Latin America. The Center supports a number of outreach activities in service to the region and nation, such as professional workshops for teachers, development of materials on Asia for use in schools, public lectures on East Asia topics, and advanced language practice groups. Since 1976 Stanford has been actively involved in utilizing its area studies resources to meet the need for improved international education at the elementary and secondary school levels - developing innovative curriculum materials, organizing teacher workshops, and bringing Asian Studies to K-14 classrooms in the Bay Area and beyond. Morrsion Institute for Population and Resource Studies The objective of the Institute is to lead this interdisciplinary study of population growth and its effects on social structures, national economies, resource availability, and the environment throughout the world. Institute reports are available to the general public and especially to world leaders and government authorities. The institute cooperates with school systems, public-policy makers, nongovernmental organizations, coalitions of professional bodies, and student and faculty groups (e.g., Global Tomorrow Coalition, Forum of International Development Organizations) to organize conferences and to produce study materials, policy papers, and articles on matters pertaining to population, environment, resources, and development. HOPES:
Huntington's Outreach Project HOPES is a team of faculty and undergraduate students at Stanford University dedicated to making scientific information about Huntington’s Disease (HD) more readily accessible to the public. Its goal is to survey the rapidly growing scientific literature on HD and to consolidate this information into a coherent, reliable web resource that reflects current scientific understanding of HD. It strives to provide accurate, helpful information about the causes of HD, existing treatment options, and recent advances in HD research. To date, HOPES resources have reached out to families in over 47 countries. Institute for Research on Women and Gender The Center provides a focal point for gender research, creating a supportive community of scholars, promoting innovative interdisciplinary approaches, and leveraging the findings of research to influence decision-making in government and business.In a new multi-year study IRWG has partnered with the Palo Alto-based Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology to explore the factors that shape technical women's opportunities in Silicon Valley companies. We are interested in patterns of advancement through technical ladders and why so few women comprise high tech positions in the upper echelons of corporate leadership.
