The study of gender takes place throughout Harvard University. It is a scholarly thread woven through disciplines and degree programs that connects students, faculty, staff, and researchers from all corners of the community. Harvard’s schools approach gender through diverse frameworks; including art, culture, economics, education, health, human rights, law, medicine, public policy, and religion. This creates a rich academic landscape for engaging scholarship on gender.
While WAPPP is based at the Harvard Kennedy School, we include courses from all of Harvard's schools in our Gender Course Guide. We compile the guide on an annual basis to support students in exploring the breadth and depth of gender courses at the University.

WAPPP's Gender Course Guide was designed to help students identify programs, courses, and resources relating to the study of women and gender throughout the University. It lists courses across the University with a primary or secondary focus on gender by interdisciplinary topic. We attempt to be as inclusive and thorough as possible, but we are aware of the possibility that inaccuracies or omissions may inadvertently exist. Please let us know if there is a course you'd like us to add to the guide.
It is also important to note that some schools only provide partial spring course listings. Please contact the schools or programs directly for complete course listings and cross-registration guidelines.
