Gender and Policy Network (GPN)

The Gender and Policy Network (GPN) is composed of Princeton University students, faculty, and alumni whose field experiences, research, and careers have convinced them of the salience of gender as a critical variable in the design, evaluation, and implementation of policies. The GPN's goals are to expand student learning about gender as a variable in public policy; develop personal and professional contacts for sharing information and guidance among students, staff, faculty, and alumni; and provide a forum for dialog on contemporary issues about gender and policy. To accomplish these goals, the network organizes a range of activities to foster discussion about gender and policy, including speakers, informal lunch discussions, career panels, and documentary screenings. It works in partnership with as many students, professors, staff, and centers as possible. GPN also maintains a Web site that provides a forum for discussion, up-to-date information, and bibliographic references, and that links the WWS community with the larger community of practitioners and scholars working on these issues.
