Heidi Hardt, political science, via The Washington Post:
Our research indicates that works by women are underrepresented in Ph.D. courses and comprehensive exam reading lists in political science. ... Women's names appear less frequently in syllabi and reading lists than in the tables of contents of top scholarly journals - where women are already underrepresented.

| We are not your standard school. Like Peter, our beloved Anteater mascot, we're quirky and different. We're on a mission to create positive change in society, economies and human well-being by breaking down traditional barriers and pushing the limits in teaching, research and service. Doing so requires a different attitude, aim and set of actions.
