Kennedy School of Government is designed for outstanding scholars pursuing gender-related research in the areas of economic opportunity, political participation, health, or education. This non-stipendiary fellowship brings together a diverse cohort of researchers, faculty, and students to advance rigorous scholarship and promote gender equity.
