Special Collections

The Friedman Feminist Press Collection research grant supports projects with a focus on women and/or gender that make substantial use of the FFPC, including historical research and documentation projects resulting in dissertations, publications, exhibitions, educational initiatives, documentary films, or other multi-media works. A successful application will also include a connection to second-wave feminist topics with reference to specific holdings in the collection. Selected applicants will receive awards of $1,800 intended to support research visits and other expenses, such as photocopies, scans, or sharing of research products. Recipients are expected to present an informal work-in-progress colloquium to the CSU community during their residency. To apply, see the CSU Libraries grants page.

Sophie Yates is a PhD candidate at the University of British Columbia with research focusing on interconnections of print tactics and stylistic citation in the work of twentieth-century queer feminist authors. Her dissertation project, tentatively entitled “Unfamiliar Kin: Intertextual Alliances in Queer Print Networks of the Twentieth Century”, explores the forerunners, self-declared heirs, and transtemporal intimacies of sapphic/queer modernist writers and publication infrastructures.
