Is your thesis related to diversity & inclusion, marginalised groups, or issues of discrimination and systems of oppression? If so, we want to host it on SHIELD's new website: shield-hertie.com! We are in the process of building our website and we want to use the enormous brain power of the Hertie School to host research related to our core mission: policy that works for marginalised groups.

The opportunity to host the thesis on our site offers visibility to your thesis, as well as an easy way to send the link to potential employers or grad schools (with an extra note of flair, I may add!). It also helps with our mission at SHIELD, to make The Hertie School a leader in topics of diversity. A core of our approach is to leverage the skills we are learning from public policy and international affairs and apply it to issues of diversity.

Topics can be wide ranging, on any country and with any method. Please feel out the brief questionnaire to express your interest and we will get back to you once our website is ready for submissions (and your thesis is more ready no doubt!).

Some topics already sourced to feature:
-How to prevent feminicide in Mexico in the absence of data (MPP)
-How more inclusive peace negotiations can lead to more prolonged peace (MIA)
-Can defunding the police in the USA really work? (MPP)

Looking forward to your submissions and good luck as you start your thesis journey!
