IRWGS Executive Committee
The day-to-day operations of the Institute are governed by a set of bylaws, and overseen by members of the Institute's Executive Committee. The Executive Committee is composed of all Core Faculty at the Institute, the Chair of Barnard WGSS, teaching faculty for a given year and the subsequent year, and additional faculty as invited by the Institute Director. The Director is expected to ensure a disciplinary balance among EC members each year.
