Northeast Political Methodology Meeting

Effective Sept, 2009, John Ferejohn, formerly of Stanford, will be full time at NYU. He will split his time between the Politics Department and the Law School, teaching graduate courses in each program. Ferejohn has broad ranging interests, focussing on political theory (positive and normative) and
political and legal institutions. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and has numerous other awards and distinctions. We are very excited and delighted to have Professor Ferejohn be part of our Ph.D. program full-time.

First Annual CESS-NYU Experimental Political Science Conference

Friday, February 8th, 2008

The Conference will be an annual event that we hope will bring together researchers interested in experimental methodology in political science broadly. That is, we welcome the participation of scholars who work in the field and those who work in the lab as well as the participation of political psychologists and political economists. Furthermore, we welcome the participation of scholars who are not experimentalists themselves but are interested in learning and discussing experimental methods as well as those interested in the relationship between the experimental method and analyzing observational data in political science.

The Conference will be a one-day event at NYU and will feature three papers with discussants. We have confirmed the following authors as paper presenters for the inaugural Annual Conference:

Ted Brader, University of Michigan
Dustin Tingley, Princeton University
Macartan Humphreys, Columbia University, Dan Posner, UCLA, and Jeremy Weinstein, Stanford University
