| Women, Law, and Public Policy Reading Group
With the support of a Ford Foundation grant to encourage interdisciplinary
scholarship, the Center on Women and Public Policy has created and nurtured
an interdisciplinary community of scholars interested in women, law, and
public policy. These scholars are drawn from the disciplines of history,
sociology, rhetoric, public health, psychology, law, and political science
as well as from the interdisciplinary programs in public policy and feminist
studies.
With the initial support of the Ford Foundation, the Women, Law, and Public
Policy reading group has been going strong since 1996. The group strengthens
our intellectual community, provides friendship and support to its members,
and welcomes new faculty to campus.
