Description
The WAPPP Fellowship, offered by the Women and Public Policy Program at Harvard Kennedy School, is a non-stipendiary opportunity for outstanding scholars engaged in research on gender equity. The fellowship is designed to foster a vibrant intellectual community, connecting fellows with faculty, students, and peers both within HKS and across Harvard. Fellows are expected to contribute actively to the program’s academic life by participating in seminars and are required to complete a substantial scholarly work—such as a book, monograph, or article—during their residency. The program’s focus spans economic opportunity, political participation, health, and education as they relate to gender.
