Political Economy Working Group
Scheduling Coordinator:
The purpose of the working group is to provide an cross-field venue for the exploration of faculty and graduate student work in the field of political economy, understood in the broadest sense. It is a forum within which we will discuss each other’s work, be it conference papers, dissertation-related (all stages), or faculty research. The idea is to provide intensive, constructive, and inter-field commentary on a range of political economy topics, spanning the spectrum from Comparative and International Political Economy through Formal and Game Theoretic approaches to the study of politics.
