GPP

The goal of the Gender and Political Participation (GPP) Working Group is to create a space for graduate students as well as post-doctoral fellows to present their work, and engage with other graduate students. This working group is open to all sub-fields across Political Science.

We hosted biweekly presentations over Zoom in Spring 2023.
