About
the Women and Public Policy Concentration
Public Policy is gendered. Men and women are affected differently
by public policies, and they participate differently in the public policy
making process. Public policies are an important component in the ongoing
construction of gender differences and a site where gender is resisted
and renegotiated.
The Humphrey School is one of the few policy schools
in the country that offers courses on women and policy, and students from
across the world come here to pursue a concentration in women and public
policy while obtaining a Master of Public Policy, Master of Urban and
Regional Planning, mid-career Master of Public Affairs, or Master of Science.
The faculty and fellows of the Humphrey School have strong expertise
in the issues of employment discrimination, feminist economics, feminist
organizations, population policy, women's human rights, and women's leadership.
Students also can draw on the University's outstanding faculty in other
departments, particularly women's studies and feminist studies.
