Spring 2020 PPE Workshop Speakers

Welcome to our first Policy and Political Economy Workshop!

To ensure a lively discussion, workshop participants should read the papers before the workshop. Presenters will make a brief 15 minute presentation that will be followed by an hour-long discussion of the work.

Workshops will meet Thursdays from 1:00 to 2:15 in 3911 Wesley W. Posvar Hall. Please let us know if you would be interested in meeting with any of our speakers individually or as a group.
