Research Cooperatives Primary Goal: Create and disseminate accessible scholarly material about women and gender in history. What is a "co-op"? A co-op is a focused multidisciplinary research and study group that has as its primary goal the creation and dissemination of accessible scholarly content to multiple audiences of students and learners. Co-ops are formed to take advantage of interest generated by events that take place on campus. For example, a weeklong celebration of Hildegard of Bingen that was co-sponsored by the School of Music, CSWS and the Humanities Center, resulted in the creation of our Hildegard Co-op. We currently have five co-ops: Women and Religion (Spiritual Traditions) Women and Art Women and Power Hildegard of Bingen and Women's Spiritual Traditions Abigail Scott Duniway and 19th Century Feminist Activism in Oregon What does a "co-op" do?
