All that changed at the end of last year when the nominations committee of the Feminist Scholarship Division of the International Communication Association (ICA) selected GMMP as their nominatation for the ICA award of Most Important Applied/ Public Policy Research Programme. Karen Ross (University of Coventry) in the UK, was then responsible for putting the nomination package together on behalf of FSD.
