Purpose: The primary purpose of the Law and Public Policy Interest Group is to promote discussions within NWSA about women's political and legal status around the world over time and about pedagogical issues related to teaching gender, law, and public policy. To achieve this goal, our group seeks to: 1. provide networking opportunities for scholars and activists; 2. sponsor round tables and scholarly panels at the NWSA annual conference; and 3. promote the inclusion of featured speakers addressing issues of law and public policy. |
