CRISP

​CRISP - Current Research in the Study of Politics

The Department's Current Research in the Study of Politics (CRISP) is a central element of our graduate program. CRISP is an annual speaker series that brings national and international scholars to speak on current issues in political science, as selected and guided by the research agendas of our third year graduate students. CRISP is held each spring and includes the invited speaker series as well as the opportunity at the end of the semester for third year graduate students to present and receive feedback on a preliminary dissertation proposal. All talks will be held from 2:30-4:30pm in Gore 116.
