Policy Briefs
In 2010, CSW initiated a new series of publications to address policy issues in our mission areas of gender, sexuality, and women's issues. CSW Policy Briefs comprise outstanding applied feminist scholarship by graduate students.
For the first set of briefs, we partnered with Michelle Johnson, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Social Welfare and a CSW Faculty Affiliate, on the development of a call for graduate student policy brief submissions in the area of “Food In/Security: Local, National, or Global Problems and Solutions.” Several students submitted briefs and three were selected for publication. In addition, Graduate Student Researchers working on CSW's "Women in Social Movements in Los Angeles, 1960-1999" project also prepared briefs.
For the second set of briefs, we put out a call for policy recommendations in the area of “LGBT Youth At Risk: Education, Health and Safety.” We were pleased to receive submissions from graduate students in both the Luskin School of Public Affairs and the Fielding School of Public Health.
All briefs are also available for download at CSW's site at the California Digital Library.
