Women's Policy Journal of Harvard (WPJH)

The Women’s Policy Journal of Harvard, John F. Kennedy School of Government is a student-run, nonpartisan review dedicated to publishing interdisciplinary work on policy making and politics affecting women. We strive to improve the quality of public policies affecting women with the intention of furthering female economic, social, and political empowerment.

We are currently accepting submissions for our summer 2010 volume. The deadline is Friday, December 18, 2009

We seek papers that explore the impact of public policies on women around the world and provide new insight into issues affecting diverse groups of women. We also welcome articles and commentaries that offer a gendered or a woman’s perspective on pressing political, social, and economic policy issues, or investigate the role of women in the policy-making sphere.

Email inquiries and submissions to wpjh@ksg.harvard.edu
