Women in Political Science (WIPS)
WIPS was founded at Ohio State in Fall of 2015 as a space for women-identifying graduate students and faculty in the Political Science department to share concerns about the status of women both within the department and within the entire discipline. WIPS serves many functions: it provides peer-to-peer and faculty-student mentorship through social events; offers a regular forum where members can express concerns and work toward potential solutions; and organizes member-based task forces to tackle issues raised and discussed within the group. WIPS also hosts weekly coffee hours and external speaker events throughout the academic year.
