Comparative Politics Workshop Spring 2021 Schedule Announced

Comparative Politics Workshop Spring 2021 Schedule Announced

The Comparative Politics Workshop Organizing Committee would like to announce the workshop’s Spring 2021 schedule. We have a great lineup of professors and students this semester.
The CPW will be held over zoom on select Wednesdays from 11:45am-1:45pm (details below). Papers and call details will be circulated approximately one week ahead of each meeting via the CUNY CP Google Group. If you are not a member of the Google Group, you may email gccomparative@gmail.com for each week’s paper.

The workshop is a venue for comparativists and IR scholars (defined broadly) —faculty, students, and alumni—to workshop conference papers, peer-reviewed articles, or book chapters. Our goal is to provide a relaxed, informal, and collegial environment to share and develop our work. This workshop is a student-run initiative that relies on the support and energy of the GC comparative politics faculty, students, and alumni.
