The Pembroke Center invites applications from current Brown students, from any concentration or field, to apply for our research grants and fellowship.

Please see individual grant descriptions and guidelines. Students with projects appropriate for more than one grant may apply for multiple grants, although it is unlikely a student would be awarded more than one.

For graduate and undergraduate students:

Among mammals, excellent color vision has evolved only in certain non-human primates. And yet, color is often assumed to be just a low-level stimulus feature with a modest role in encoding and recognizing objects. The rationale for this dogma is compelling: object recognition is excellent in grayscale images (consider black-and-white movies, where faces, places, objects, and story are readily apparent).

The gift from Class of 1976 Brown alumna Shauna Stark, the largest in the Pembroke Center’s history, will establish an endowed directorship and support bold feminist research by scholars from multiple fields of study.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — On the eve of its 40^th anniversary, which it will mark during the 2021-22 academic year, Brown University’s Pembroke Center already has two big reasons to celebrate.

At 6:30 pm on Wednesday, June 9, 2021, please join the Friends of the Pembroke Center and four distinguished Brown alumnae for this timely virtual panel which will look at how journalism and the media have evolved in recent years to include more diverse perspectives and reporting that centers race and gender. We will explore this current media moment, its significantly broader lens, and how it reflects fundamental, parallel changes in our culture and politics. We’ll also delve into how we got here, where we're going, and why it matters.
