The Sex, Race and Globalization project spanned the years from 1999-2004 and was made possible by two successive grants from the Rockefeller Foundation, along with matching grants from the University of Arizona Vice President for Research. The Sex, Race and Globalization (SRG) project explored the imbrication of sexuality, gender and race with economic, political and informational processes across local, regional, national and transnational scales. Noting that global movements of capital, information and people are facilitated, blocked, and diverted by sexual, racial and national categorizations, even as cultural formations are reshaped by "globalization," our objective was to describe and explain the links between exploitative economic processes and structures of sexual, gendered, and racial inequality. Under the Sex, Race and Globalization rubric, the Committee initiated many seminars, fellows, conferences, symposiums, visiting scholars and curricular development.
