Interdisciplinary Workshop on American Politics
American Government and Politics
The Interdisciplinary Workshop on American Politics (IWAP) is a forum for the presentation of ongoing interdisciplinary research in American politics. Most of our presentations are given by graduate students. Each graduate student presenter is assigned a faculty and student discussant. IWAP circulates the work beforehand and the student presents it briefly at the start of the meeting. After discussant feedback, the bulk of the time is reserved for group discussion among all workshop participants. This format leads to informal yet highly interactive and productive conversations.
Occasionally, IWAP also hosts faculty guest speakers from within and outside the University. The format for invited guest speakers is similar to our regular meetings, although we allow for an extended presentation time.
All IWAP meetings are held on Fridays from 3:30 – 4:30 p.m. in the Prefunction Room (5669 Haven Hall), unless otherwise noted. For questions about IWAP, please contact one of the 2012 – 2013 coordinators: Andrew Feher (afeher@umich.edu), Kristyn Karl (krislm@umich.edu), and Rachel Potter (rapotter@umich.edu).
