The Women and Public Policy Program’s faculty, research fellows, and students are committed to advancing women and gender equity globally. Through rigorous research, we offer gender insights into work, politics, and conflict that have the potential to reduce or eliminate barriers so all people can fulfill their life aspirations unconstrained by gender bias.

Our Spring Seminar Series: Make Work Fair
Our virtual spring seminar series will explore what workplaces that work for everyone might look like, based on ideas from Iris Bohnet and Siri Chilazi's forthcoming book 'Make Work Fair.' The series will focus on research explaining why fairness cannot be a program but must be a way of doing things, and how employees at any level can implement the three-part framework outlined in 'Make Work Fair'— to make fairness count, make it stick, and make it "normal."

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF LAND AND PEOPLE
The Women and Public Policy Program and the Harvard Kennedy School are located on the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary unceded homeland of the Massachusett people, the surviving descendants of the first people of Massachusetts and of the Neponset band of the Massachusett. We honor this tradition and work toward a gender equity agenda that addresses the needs of all women, including Indigenous women and Indigenous communities.
