KENNEDY SCHOOL OF GOVERNMENT 2005-2006

Programs and Course Titles

*courses marked by an asterisk will not be offered this academic year

The Women and Public Policy Program (WAPPP) was founded with the intent of incorporating gender perspectives into the making of public policy. Through the gender related courses offered at the Kennedy School of Government, future and current leaders have access to resources that illuminate the impact of gender issues in the political realm. WAPPP also offers myriad events that allow interested students, faculty, and members of the community to participate in discussions and explore scholarship that investigates women’s roles within the public policy processes as initiators of the policy agenda, decision-makers in the process and those affected by the outcome. WAPPP has five program areas: government; business; developing economies; security; and religion.
