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 was one of the first and remains one of the few public policy schools in the country to allow students to concentrate their studies on women and public policy. The Center on Women and Public Policy conducts research and programming in the areas of women and politics, gender and judging, women-centered nonprofits and international human rights and partners with the Women's Foundation of Minnesota to provide comprehensive data on the status of women and girls in Minnesota.
