Women in Comparative & International Politics

The Women in Comparative & International Politics (WICIP) Network is a community of women working on comparative and international politics, at every career stage and in both academic and non-academic roles.

I started the network to give members a shared place to find mentorship and collaborators, since those opportunities are spread unevenly across institutions. We meet online once a month. Each session opens with a short talk or panel on a professional development theme, followed by Q&A and breakout rooms where members introduce their work and look for people to work with.

Members also share an international job and funding board and a co-authorship sheet, where they can register interest in co-authorships, research assistantships, and grant collaboration. Recordings, slides, and key takeaways from past sessions are in the WICIP Session Library, and the advice index gathers every takeaway by topic.

To join, sign up through the WICIP Google Group, which adds you to the network's mailing list.
