The following are the learning outcomes for this minor, adapted from Humphrey School school-wide learning outcomes.
1. to lead and manage in governance across sectors, institutions, and diverse populations and cultures by developing a better understanding of how diverse populations are differently affected by similar public policies
2. to participate in problem-solving, policy-making, and institutional and societal change in dynamic, uncertain environments by better understanding the complexity of problems from an intersectional perspective and learning what efforts are most effective for promoting policy change
3. to analyze, synthesize, think critically, solve complex problems, and make decisions informed by quantitative, qualitative, economic, and other methods by both learning concepts key to intersectional gender policy analysis and critically assessing the methods used in existing gender policy analyses
4. to articulate the essential role of public institutions in democratic societies and the importance of democratic values in delivery of public services by examining the role of inclusion in policy making processes
5. to understand conceptions of the common good, acknowledge normative and ethical viewpoints, and promote social justice by developing a clearer understanding of the gendered conceptual underpinnings of many public policies
6. to communicate and interact productively with individuals in diverse and changing cultures and communities by gaining knowledge of policies developed in diverse local and global communities and their implications
7. to understand global interdependencies and their implications for governance, policy-making, and implementation by comparing similar policy problems across diverse global contexts and considering their transnational dimensions
