Policy Symposium, “Gender in the 21st Century Eastern Europe and Eurasia.”



The research symposium, supported by the United States Department of State
(Title VIII Program), will bring American junior and senior scholars and
members of the policy community together to examine and discuss gender and
women’s issues in Eastern Europe and Eurasia from multi-disciplinary
perspectives. Topics may include: education, migration, trafficking, women
in politics, domestic violence, and economic opportunities, among others.

their current research on the topic of the Symposium. Grants will be awarded
to approximately ten junior scholars.
