Call for submissions!

The GPPS team is excited to announce that we're launching a blog within our weekly newsletter. Students can submit short pieces with their opinions and/or commentaries to be featured. We want this space to serve as a platform for students to discuss gender issues as they intersect with daily life on an individual, collective, and/or international level. Examples of submissions are:

• Op-ed
• Movie, TV show, or book review
• Spotlight on gender-related data
• Spotlight a university professor, class, center, or program
• Interview with a professor or alumni
• Policy review
• and more!

Posts should be about 500 words and include a link to more information on the subject matter (can be a website, image, video, etc). Final versions are subject to edits by GPPS program staff.
