| Description: | The 'Global Feminisms Project' is a collaborative international project that examines the history of feminist activism, women's movements and academic women's studies in China, India, Poland, and the United States. We are examining the histories of feminism in local contexts by collecting ten videotaped oral histories of women's movement activists and women's studies scholars in each country. The Project is based in the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG) at UM, which is also the home for the US site research team. Our international collaborators are: SPARROW, Sound and Picture Archives for Research on Women in Mumbai, India; Fundacja Kobiet eFKa (Women's Foundation eFKa) in Krakow, Poland; China Women's University in Beijing, China; and Institute for Research on Women and Gender at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
