Description
The WAPPP Fellowship, offered by the John F. Kennedy School of Government's Women and Public Policy Program (WAPPP), is designed to support exceptional scholars pursuing research on gender equity in economic opportunity, political participation, health, and education. Fellows join a dynamic intellectual community, engaging with faculty, students, and other fellows to share insights and advance knowledge in these areas. The fellowship emphasizes active participation in research seminars and the broader academic life of the center, with the expectation that fellows will complete a significant publication—such as a book, monograph, or scholarly article—during their residency.
