The mission of the Women's Finance CRG is to provide a safe space for women to share their financial knowledge, research topics of interest, set financial goals, and become financially independent and well informed. The Women's Finance CRG meets on the third Thursday of every month and is sponsored by the Office of Equality and Diversity, the Women’s and Gender Studies program, and CoAS.

Joan Maya Mazelis, associate professor of sociology, Rutgers University-Camden, will discuss research from her 2017 NYU Press book "Surviving Poverty: Creating Sustainable Ties among the Poor." Prof. Mazelis will explain the barriers poor people face in building ties and the ways in which members of the Kensington Welfare Rights Union (KWRU), a distinctive organization that brings poor people together in the struggle to survive, build social ties with one another. Those ties become beneficial and sustainable, allowing members to share skills and resources that materially aid them in their struggle to survive.
