Gender & politics Network

About

The Gender and Politics Network was created to provide a platform for scholars and other professionals who share an interest in issues and debates around gender and politics.

The group’s aims are:

• To promote the study of gender and politics within mainstream political science and other related disciplines.
  
• To build a network of scholars interested in investigating the different aspects of the relationship between gender and politics.
  
• To have a direct and real impact on the practice, teaching and the study of politics.
  
• To provide a platform for exchange and facilitate contact and communication between scholars engaged in the study of gender and politics.
  
• To facilitate research co-operation on topics in the areas of gender and politics, by promoting equality in the profession.
  
• To organise, initiate and invite contributions on gender politics at the NZPSA conferences, workshops and other events, as well as awarding prizes.
