community involvement

How did students in one political science class learn about public land management policies? Not by reading textbooks or looking at slides. Last month, Professor Adam Brown, assistant professor in BYU's political science department, took his class for a hands-on learning experience to Utah's famous national park, Moab.

The idea for the WomanStats Awards was first created at the 2014 Summer Co-PI meeting in an effort to help our data reach a larger audience. We wanted to inform, educate, and acknowledge our readers about countries and individuals who made strides, or a lack thereof, in the field of women’s rights throughout the year. All nominations and categories were provided by our coders over a period of 6 months. All final decisions were made by a panel of our co-principal investigators. These awards will be publicized across all forms of WomanStats social media, and also submitted to several online news media platforms for potential publication.
