Treating people justly means treating them similarly when they are relevantly similar and differently when they are relevantly different. Accordingly, if public policy is to be just in its effects on persons, it too must reflect similarities and differences among them. Profound disagreements quickly arise though when we ask which differences and similarities are relevant when, where, and how. One apparent difference between individuals is gender. When, where and how is gender relevant to public policy This course will tackle this question by examining a variety of public policy issues which centrally involve gender in some important way. Among the issues which may be covered are gender discrimination, reproduction and public policy, alleged differences between male and female moral outlooks, and the roles that public policy can or does play in creating, sustaining, and changing gender differences and their significance. Enrollment limited. 1.00 units, Lecture

In policy analysis, we focus on the problems of empirical policy analysis: defining the problem, framing the questions to be answered, picking the location and scope of the study, selecting the metrics of analysis, aligning metrics with public values, collecting evidence, and transforming the evidence into data. The readings and weekly discussions are avenues for students to query themselves on the problems they must solve to advance their own research agendas. Students will complete a major project in empirical policy analysis. Enrollment limited. 1.00 units, Seminar
