The UCLA Center for the Study of Women invites submissions of paper, poster, speed pitching research roundtable, and visual arts proposals for our 28th Annual Thinking Gender Graduate Student Research Conference. This year’s conference theme,  Pre-existing Conditions , will focus on the interactions of health and gender as a play on the current, on-going discussions about gender-focused health and healthcare. Healthcare reform is not new to political or contemporary discussions, but what is novel is the recognition of the need for vast improvement of political understanding of health and care especially for women and LGBTQI+2s communities.

Sign up for emails from the Crisis Management Professional Interest Council a student organization at Harvard Kennedy School by emailing Nick Hambridge .
