Graduate Student Workshop
The Graduate Student Workshop is for students whose research is at the intersection of Political Economy, Economic Development and Economic History. The goal of the workshop is to improve the research community among this subset of researchers and foster new interactions and relationships between PhD students and faculty. The workshop provides opportunities for more frequent and meaningful feedback on student work as well as new avenues for collaboration.
The workshop meets weekly on Fridays at 12:40pm in the Transit House at the Munk School and is sponsored by the Department of Economics and the People’s History Lab.
Lead Organizer: Arthur Blouin
