Join the Women and Public Policy Program as we celebrate International Women's Day and Women's History Month!
Below, find on-campus and virtual events across Harvard that are being held throughout March, for both International Women's Day and Women's History Month. These events encompass a broad range of disciplines and perspectives; from our signature community breakfast reflecting on the state of gender equity, to a discussion on gender politics in culinary arts, to a lecture on the history of transgender artists' influence on design fields. We share them with the intention of building community and generating discussion around the many facets of gender and gender equity.
