The NZPSA has a women’s representative and women’s caucus which aims to support women in the political science profession in New Zealand. The 2012-2013 Women’s representative is Dr Carla Lam from the University of Otago, email carla.lam@otago.ac.nz. In 2012, the NZPSA held a workshop for women exploring their advancement in the field at the annual conference in Wellington.  We are in the process of completing a report on the status of women in the discipline in New Zealand, so keep posted for that information.  In the meantime, please explore the links below:
