Women and Public Policy Program Fellowship
The Women and Public Policy Program offers non-stipendiary fellowships to scholars and practitioners who demonstrate exceptional commitment to promoting gender perspectives in public policy. By conducting research and engaging with faculty and students at Harvard Kennedy School and beyond, the fellows enrich the intellectual life of the center. WAPPP provides office space and Harvard Kennedy School affiliation to selected fellows. In past years, the fellowship program has brought together a diverse set of people from academic and professional fields, and supported their studies related to gender.
Responsibilities
The Women and Public Policy Program Fellows are expected to participate actively in WAPPP seminars and to attend and present papers at other seminars relevant to their interests. Research fellows will also be expected to complete a book, monograph, scholarly article or other significant publication during their period of residence.
Stipend
The Women and Public Policy Program fellowship does not offer a stipend.
