The UW-Madison American Politics Workshop is a multidisciplinary group of faculty and graduate students that meets every other Monday at noon in 422 North Hall to discuss new and ongoing research projects in American Politics. A typical workshop meeting will open with 10-15 minutes of comments by the paper author followed by an hour of discussion. Papers are posted online for reading one week prior to the meeting. Faculty and graduate students wishing to present at the workshop should send an email to Barry Burden or Lesley Lavery.
