The second annual Chicago Area Political and Social Behavior workshop (CAB) will be held on Friday, May 9, 2008, at Northwestern University. The goal of these regularly occurring workshops is to bring together Chicago area social scientists who share an interest in political and social behavior. The format of the meetings is as follows.
Presentations:
• |
There will be four paper presentations, with discussion following each presentation. Papers will be available at least one week in advance at: http://faculty.wcas.northwestern.edu/~jnd260/conference.html |
• |
A moderator (for each paper) will keep time and perhaps pose a few questions; however, there is no formal discussant, and thus, the discussion will largely come from the audience. |
• |
Each presenter will have approximately 30 minutes to present, followed by approximately 30 minutes of discussion (1 hour total). |
• |
The detailed schedule appears below. |
A light breakfast, lunch, snacks, and an informal dinner will be provided. (The informal dinner is a new feature this year.) Part of the purpose of the meeting is to provide scholars from different schools with an opportunity to interact and exchange ideas in an informal setting.
Each graduate student will be matched with a faculty member from a different university who shares his/her interests. Time will be provided for these pairs to interact (e.g., during break times or lunch).
RSVP
To register, please email Cari Hennessy at c-hennessy@northwestern.edu by April 28. If you are a graduate student, please identify yourself as such (so we can match you with a faculty member).
