Welcome to the Comparative Politics Workshop (CPW) at the University of Chicago!

CPW provides an opportunity for graduate students, faculty members and outside speakers to present their work and receive feedback. The workshop faculty sponsors for the 2021-22 academic year are Andrew Eggers and Scott Gehlbach. The workshop meets in a hybrid format—over Zoom and in person—on Tuesdays from 11:00 to 12:20 PM.
