About the Interdisciplinary Workshop on American Politics

The Interdisciplinary Workshop in American Politics hosts weekly research workshops, where graduate students present their research and receive feedback. These workshops are structured to function both as a means of improving research, and to provide graduate students with an opportunity to gain the professional skills necessary to an academic career.

Meetings are held in a hybrid format, in the Prefunction Room of Haven Hall and on zoom. Meetings take place every other Friday from 3:30-5pm, beginning 9/29/2023. 

If you would like to be added to the mailing list or would like to provided with a Zoom link to join the workshop remotely, please reach out to the coordinators at either agoods@umich.edu, bengoehr@umich.edu  or jrthorp@umich.edu 

In addition to our weekly workshops, IWAP invites faculty from other universities to present their cutting-edge research. IWAP has a tradition of inviting and hosting many high-profile researchers from the nation’s top universities, thereby both broadening the interdisciplinary appeal of the workshop and introducing our students to the newest areas and methodologies of research.

IWAP is supported by the University of Michigan's Rackham Graduate School and is a Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshop. More information about Rackham Interdisciplinary Workshops can be found here.
