Activities & Events

Political Science Research Workshop

The Political Science Research Workshop is a venue for graduate students and faculty to present and receive feedback on work in progress. Dissertation chapters, article manuscripts and dissertation proposal drafts comprise the bulk of our presentations. Students who are on the job market and anticipate interviews in the near future may also present a practice job talk.

The PSRW provides a venue to learn critical skills for practicing political scientists. Presenters and discussants learn to give and receive constructive feedback and to utilize this type of intellectual exchange to improve the quality of their written research. Additionally, attendance allows students and faculty to become familiar with the work of their colleagues.

On top of all that… we’ll have lunch!

Please join us most Fridays from 12:00-1:30 pm. No RSVP is required, but all attendees are expected to read the paper before the workshop session and to come ready to offer constructive feedback. Papers will be posted to this website approximately one week before the session (see links below).

If you have any questions, please contact Professor Jon Hanson (johanson@maxwell.syr.edu) or Sibel Oktay (sibelo@maxwell.syr.edu).
