CPR Seminar Series
The CPR Seminar Series includes both internal and external speakers who present findings from their latest policy-relevant research.
For Syracuse University faculty, the presentations are in a workshop format: designed to provide feedback to the researchers while the work is in a formative stage. External speakers typically present research projects that are near completion.
2024-2025 speakers included Monica Deza (Syracuse University), Sharad Goel (Harvard Kennedy School), Yu-Che Chen (University of Nebraska at Omaha), Jessica Trounstine (Vanderbilt University), Jeremy Weber (University of Pittsburgh), Ashton Verdery (Penn State University), and Fernando Riosmena (University of Texas at San Antonio).
