Heinz School Review Presents Fall 2005 Issue
The Heinz School Review (HSR) Fall 2005 issue examines how various public policy issues affect women. From social security reform to human rights, from under-representation in government to child-care policy, our contributing authors look at ways in which our society treats — or mistreats — women.
For this issue, HSR collaborated with the Gender Awareness and Action in Policy club (GAAP) at the Heinz School. GAAP sponsored a paper contest in Spring 2004, and HSR is excited to publish the top two papers: Mary Hull Caballero’s exploration of the effects of social security reform on women and Emily Eelman’s discussion of the important issue of child-care subsidies.
The Heinz School Review seeks to publish exceptional work with a functional focus. HSR is reflective of the school’s interdisciplinary approach, drawing from different perspectives to study and understand society. HSR highlights innovative solutions realized through the use of policy analysis, management, leadership, and information technology. HSR is designed to be useful and accessible to busy practitioners in the public policy and management fields. HSR offers insightful articles, research and interviews available for download when you need them.
