Workshop on International Politics: Spring 2020 Schedule (virtual)

Dear all,
 
WIP will be hosting virtual workshops in an effort to connect with everyone currently sheltered in place and engage with the research being done by our graduate students and faculty. It will follow a slightly different format with two presentations every session for 15 minutes each and followed by 30 minutes of Q&A.

Please find attached the Spring 2020 schedule for the Workshop on International Politics (virtually). The workshop seminars will be held on Thursdays from 3:30-5:00PM via Zoom (password: 
581041).
 
The first meeting will be on Thursday, May 7th.

We look forward to a great month!

Workshop temporarily suspended for the Spring Quarter

In light of the University of Chicago’s announced changes for the Spring Quarter with regards to the evolving health concerns around COVID-19, we have decided to suspend the Workshop for the time being. If the situation evolves, we might be able to hold some sessions in late May.
We regret the situation we have been put in and we look forward to resuming our lively discussions soon.
