The Institute for Research on Women and Gender at Columbia University may
be of interest to you. In addition to sponsoring its own research, the
institute acts as an interdisciplinary clearing house for feminist
scholars and offers a certificate program in feminist scholarship that
graduate students can take in conjunction with their departmental
studies, e.g., anthropology.
For more information on the Instiute, contact: Prof Kathryn Gravdal,
Director of Graduate Studies, 763 Schermerhorn, Columbia University, NY
NY 10027, (212) 854-3277.
You'll also need info on admissions to the Graduate School and on the
anthropology department, which you can get by contacting: Office of
Admissions, Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, 107 Low Library,
Columbia University, NY NY 10027, (212) 854-4737.
Hope this is helpful; good luck!
