The Gender and Public Policy specialization (GPPS) equips students with the expertise to analyze, design, and execute policies that advance gender equity. Given that gender plays a pivotal role across all policy domains, and since achieving gender equality requires dedication from professionals in every discipline, this specialization appeals to students from all academic tracks. GPPS leverages a diverse faculty of academics and practitioners, fosters collaboration with SIPA's wide-ranging resources, and works closely with university-wide research centers and faculty. Additionally, it organizes skill-building workshops and facilitates networking opportunities with leaders from both government and industry.
