Dear CSW Advisory Committee, Faculty Affiliates, and Research Scholars,

I am very pleased to send you the CSW annual report for 2010-11. CSW had a
highly productive year. Our impact on UCLA continues to grow as we reach
across the campus to foster research and to support faculty and students
in our mission areas. Our many successes include:

•  "New Majorities, Shifting Priorities" survey and conferences, which
brought an amazing energy and array of ideas about the future of research,
teaching, and institutional affiliations in gender, sexuality, LGBT,
ethnic, women’s, and postcolonial studies.

• "Women and STEM,” Faculty Curator Series curated by Professor Jenessa
Shapiro, Department of Psychology. This series brought top researchers to
UCLA to consider how stereotypes undermine the interest and success of
women in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math.

• Policy Briefs Series, a new publications series that features feminist
scholarship that rethinks policy on gender, sexuality, and women's issues.
The first six briefs are available on our website and on CSW's site at the
California Digital Library and in a printed newsletter.

And to cap an already amazing year, in May, CSW received a substantial NEH
grant for "Making Invisible Histories Visible: Preserving the Legacy of
Lesbian Feminist Activism and Writing in Los Angeles." CSW is delighted we
are able to continue this multiyear collaborative project with the Mazer
Archive and the UCLA library that will benefit scholars all over the world
for years to come!

As we look forward to another wonderful year, I hope you will join us on
October 11, from 4 to 6 pm in Royce 314, for the Annual Fall Reception.

With all best wishes,

Kathleen
