What is going on in the international policy arena? How are women's issues being advanced? Who is advising governments and giving expert opinions?
If you are interested in the answers to these and other questions, or think you might have some of the answers, this research circle is for you!
This new research circle focuses on how organizations and governments "mainstream" gender equity concerns into international policy, particularly on the transformation of feminist knowledge into "gender expertise" in various policy arenas. This project is designed to (1) deepen feminist policy-making expertise in Madison, (2) build connections between Madison gender scholars and those considered "gender experts" in policy institutions, and (3) advance UW as a globally recognized center for feminist policy knowledge.
