Women have played essential roles in social movements throughout history, though they have often been written out of history books. In recent years, women have been at the helm of many people-led movements for social change across the globe, including movements to oust dictators, challenge violence against women, and promote human rights. Despite the popular understanding of the importance of women’s leadership in these recent movements, there is a lack of micro-level data on how and why individual women engage in such movements, and to what extent their participation matters for movement success. This CAREER project encompasses a groundbreaking research and educational program on women’s engagement in social movements.This project has two core components: (1) cutting edge research aimed at better understanding how strategies that prioritize the inclusion of women, ethnic and racial minorities, and other marginalized groups are associated with the success of social movements; and (2) education and training programs that seek to disseminate evidence-based research to graduate students, broader academic and policy communities, and movement activists across the globe. The unique strength of the Inclusive Global Leadership Initiative lies in the synergy between its different stakeholders—including activists, students, researchers, policymakers, and the general public. The research component focuses on gathering micro-level data from women-identified activists in 10 recent movements across the globe to produce a book, dataset, and training manual. Their stories will help us understand why women join social movements, how they participate (including the tactics, strategies, and gendered repertoires of contention they deploy), and whether their participation matters for the movement’s success or failure. Then, an innovative curricular program in Social Justice at the University of Denver will enable the dissemination of this information to both traditional students and movement activists, as well as create a structure for frontline activists to directly contribute to research findings.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

纵观历史，妇女在社会运动中发挥了重要作用，尽管她们经常被从历史书中抹去。​尽管人们普遍理解妇女在这些近期运动中的领导作用的重要性，但缺乏微观层面的数据，说明个别妇女如何以及为什么参与这些运动，以及她们的参与对运动成功的影响程度。这个职业项目包括一个关于妇女参与社会运动的开创性研究和教育计划。该项目有两个核心组成部分：(1)开展前沿研究，旨在更好地理解优先考虑妇女、少数民族和种族以及其他边缘化群体的战略如何与社会运动的成功相关联；(2)旨在向研究生、更广泛的学术和政策团体以及全球的运动积极分子传播循证研究的教育和培训项目。包容性全球领导力倡议的独特优势在于其不同利益相关者之间的协同作用，包括活动家、学生、研究人员、政策制定者和公众。研究部分的重点是收集微观层面的数据，这些数据来自最近在全球10个运动中的女性活动家，以制作一本书、数据集和培训手册。她们的故事将帮助我们理解为什么女性会加入社会运动，她们是如何参与的（包括她们使用的战术、策略和性别争论），以及她们的参与是否对运动的成败有影响。然后，丹佛大学（University of Denver）的一个创新的社会正义课程项目将使这些信息能够传播给传统学生和运动活动家，并为前线活动家直接贡献研究成果创造一个结构。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
